Old Romantics

 Book 10 of my 2026 Reading Challenge
read from January 14 - 17

Old Romantics
by Maggie Armstrong
published 2024

2 stars

Old Romantics is a collection of connected short stories, mainly on the theme of love/relationships.  I don't need characters to be likable but when the vibe of the book is listening to a friend tell stories and I wouldn't choose the main character as a friend because I find her to be draining, it makes it an unenjoyable read.

This is one of those 2 star reviews based on my personal preference...the writing was fine and another reader may find connections in this book I didn't.

Ways This Book Met my 2026 Reading Goals:
- 10th book read in 2026 (my goal is 100)
- Title starting with 'O' (I'm doing an A-Z title challenge)
