At the Bottom of New Lake by Sonya LarsonMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I’m no less than completely confounded by the rave reviews for this piece of the Warmer collection. The warring perspectives of youth vs. age just didn’t work. Whilst one might expect stubborn resistance to learning to walk in another person’s shoes from a teenager, that same fundamental character flaw in an adult, especially a teacher, is reprehensible. I didn’t find the dialogue to be believable, and the #girlcrush that ostensibly served as a foil to the snarky adolescent attitude seemed out of place and arbitrary. Not a hit for me.
