Andrew Spink reviewed Door een roze bril by Vannessa Thuyns
A book of two halves
2 stars
This was very much a book of two halves. In the beginning, the protagonist was intensely irritating and her lack of self confidence and imposter syndrome was not at all pleasant. I think the intention was to tell a sort of Bridget Jones story, but it didn't work for me. In the second half, she was a much more likeable character, but the plot was very predictable and seemed almost inevitable. This was also a book seriously full of stereotypes, which didn't exactly make the characters more interesting. The publisher's blurb used the term 'feel good. I don't think that being irritated for half the book qualifies as that.
