♀️ BUDDY READ MINI REVIEW ♀️ Have you read PLAIN BAD HEROINES by @emdanforth yet? This was our pick for #getthrilledbuddyreads in June, and I don't even know how to describe it, but I loved it! It's a story within a story, and there's another story tucked into the first one. I marked this book up like crazy (you can swipe to see all my flags), and we had a lot to discuss in our group chat! In our discussion, I think we all agreed we liked the historical chapters best, but the modern day protagonists were also great. There's a lot about the "unlikeable female character" in here -- one is described as "prickly," and it fits her perfectly -- which is one of my favorite themes in fiction. It's a fiercely feminist tale, queer AF, and told in an engaging style where the narrator is sort of winking at you in footnotes. (Side note: I am a sucker for footnotes in a book, and think more authors should do this! 😁) Also, I was amazed at the end to discover the "subversive" book that's referenced throughout the novel is actually real, and now I am dedicated to finding and reading it 😍 If you like long, sprawling tales with many characters that you can get lost in, I'd recommend this one!
