Ask Britt: Characters You Can't Stop Watching
Miriam just finished Yesteryear and wants a book she won't feel meh about. She'd rather be furious at a character than apathetic. Three literary fiction picks this week: one that will make you quietly furious at every adult in it, one that's been rolling around in my head for weeks, and one with a narrator you cannot stop watching even as she makes every wrong choice available to her.
This is Ask Britt. You send in your reading mood, I give you recs.
