2021 book 101

 Meg Mason's Sorrow and Bliss

This was on my library hold list for a while, so I no longer remember what made me want to read it. It kind of has Marian Keyes vibes—it’s a British woman narrating her life, her failing marriage, and her struggle with mental illness—but like one of the more depressing Marian Keyes novels. Parts of this are funny and relatable and parts are just really sad and upsetting. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this one. B.

It definitely does have Marian Keyes vibes! I struggle with the unreliable narrator thing, but I think it was beautifully crafted in this case. I like that it was ultimately about family. Not an easy book to read, though.
