The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai

You already know I love Ann Patchett. Not only is she an amazing author, but she is also a very cool human. So when she announced her favorite book for 2025 was The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, I was all in! What Ann forgot to tell me is that the book is 688 pages! This would not keep me away if the book was riveting, but this one was not. Yes, it is extremely well written with sentences and paragraphs that are beautiful. However, the story and the characters just didn't grab me at all! When I looked at some of the reviews online, many said that the last half really dragged. Since I was dragging myself through the first half, I decided to give up. I hate to do it. Sorry, Ann. - June
