I thought "Such a Fun Age" was so MEH and then after seeing your review of "Come and Get It", I knew I couldn't waste another moment being curious about her second book. I have both Coco Mellors books in my TBR and I am excited to read them one day soon (ish). I think it was her third book, so maybe not relevant here but for me the most disappointing follow-up to a book that received critical acclaim was "You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi. "The Death of Vivek Oji" was such a stunning, profound book and then YMAFODWYB was so meandering and tedious by comparison. I couldn't believe they were written by the same person!
You're right not to waste another moment thinking about Come and Get It! Hahaha re Emezi - we actually really enjoyed the messiness of YMAFOD but totally appreciate it wasn't as good as previous work!
I feel the same about The Vanishing Half but don't think it was that bad🫣 Brit Bennett is an incredible writer but I wasn't interested nor remember most of the story even now.
Yes! If you've not read The Mothers, please get to it soon - it's so good by comparison! But as for The Vanishing Half it's worth reading Passing by Nella Larsen :)
