My Monticello by Jocelyn Nicole Johnson

3.0

This was okay. Some of the stories were very interesting & drew me in. I could have read a whole novel about the woman in “Virginia is Not Your Home.” But there were also MORE times I felt bored & confused. Several of the stories are written in second-person, which I was not fond of. I enjoyed the novella most of all, but felt it had a very abrupt ending just as I was getting invested in the story. Admittedly, I’m not a big short-story girly, so maybe that’s why this didn’t do it for me.
