A review by tkhz
Big Swiss by Jen Beagin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 69%.
This felt like watching an arthouse film that was too weird to comprehend. Both characters feel flat despite the constant discussion of their trauma, but almost 3/4 of the way into this book neither of them have really done anything to process it. I enjoyed the first part of the book with the therapy transcripts, and I wish there would've been more focus on that aspect instead of the "love story."

The sex scenes are too weird in my personal opinion. I didn't sense any chemistry between Greta and Big Swiss and I'm not sure why they are attracted to each other in the first place. The love story felt out of place and once their affair began I found it hard to care about what happened to either of them after that.

TLDR: This book tries really hard to be quirky and different to the point that the characters are completely un-relatable and uninteresting to me.
