This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

 Book 70 of my 2025 Reading Challenge
read from September 19 - 21

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things by Naomi Wood
published 2024

Summary

My Opinion
2 stars

I checked this out from the library after seeing it in People Magazine.

I don't like how I feel after reading this.  The writing must've been good to affect my mood so much but it was emotionally draining, like I'd just had a marathon phone conversation with a sad, needy friend.  Not everything has to have a positive spin but 245 pages of stories with multiple characters when everyone seems to feel hopeless and not a hint of a happy ending in any of them felt too heavy.
