Seeing Other People by Diana ReidMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
DNF at 19%.
I've tried reading this three times but the characters just don't speak to me. It sounds odd to say so early on that I find them mildly repellent, but I do.
Having read so little I can't say much about the plot, its post-COVD lockdowns. Helen is a struggling actress in a play in a small theatre who has fallen in love with the director, they hooked up on opening night but Helen has heard nothing romantic from her since. Helen lives in a sort of party squat with questionable hygiene. Her sister Eleanor has just broken up with her boyfriend.
That's about it, a fifth of the way through and I have no more. Perhaps as this is recommended for fans of sally Rooney I am not its target audience as I didn't really get the point of Normal People.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
