My Year of Casual Acquaintances is a must read. Following Mar in her journey re-inventing herself, we follow this through different acquaintances she makes along the way.
This read was a wonderful delight, the pacing, structure and writing style made the read easy and enjoyable. I must say if you like dialogue you will enjoy this read. I must say the dialogue was slightly unnatural or felt forced but this didn’t take away from my enjoyment.
The pacing was fast paced and made the read enjoyable. If you enjoyed following a woman in a normal realistic life, this is perfect for you.
I enjoyed watching her navigate different relationships, from romantic, familial to amical. This made the story have enough of everything to make the read worth it.
The characters are relatable and realistic; I did feel frustrated towards some of the characters but compassion to our Mar.
The ending did feel slightly rushed, maybe a lack of closer was the reason but do not worry a sequel will follow.
I would recommend this to many readers, who want something easy but deep.
