“Loved and Missed�, by Susie Boyt (a contemporary fiction)

3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I only picked this book because it was highly recommended.
And I do love family dramas.
But the cover art does not appeal to me, so I wouldn’t have thought of reading this.
Anyways� I so wanted to love it. The writing is not bad, but the storytelling is overly descriptive and failed to convey some authenticity to the characters.
I was completely untouched by the story, which was considered by many readers as being depressing.
I didn’t think this one was for me, so I feel that is unfair to give it a lower rate, so I’m taking into consideration the concept and writing.

ebook (Kobo): 208 pages (default), 62k words, 10 chapters.

The writing is not bad, but the storytelling is overly descriptive and it’s failing to captivate me. I’ve been numb this entire time. I hope it will eventually touch my heart."
