Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Wow this one was a struggle to get through. I work in big tech and I live in Silicon Valley so this book was close to home, maybe a bit too close to home. I think the success or failure of this book will lie with how relatable you will find the main character and for me, her choices were too difficult to relate to. It felt like her life was terrible and tough from every angle and she was making choices that made it harder and harder on her. I loved the image of the black hole and I loved both the visual and the visceral way one could feel that. I still didn’t connect with this book the way many seem to have.
