Assembly
by
by
Assembly follows a Black British woman as she travels to her boyfriend’s family estate in the English countryside for an extravagant party. As she prepares to meet his family for the first time, she’s also thinking about the frustrations and injustices of her job in finance, as well as her health and her future.
This is a small book packed with timely topics like sexism, racism, and class, and their impact on society. It’s a quick read but not a breezy one. The fragmented, stream of consciousness writing style is not a favorite of mine. I felt removed from the story and the main character. A lot to consider in Assembly but I was hoping to enjoy it more than I did.

I think I’m an outlier and it’s me more than the book in this case. I’m glad it was a good read for you, Bianca!

Thanks, Debra :)
Stream of consciousness is a hard pass for me, so thanks for the heads up. Great review Brandice!
Great review, Brandice! I'm not a fan of stream of consciousness either.
Add me to the list of being not a fan of stream of consciousness books.

Marialyce, I should know better by now but here I am, trying again! ;)
Great review, Brandice! Sorry it was a disappointing read. Hope your current on is a more please one.
Fantastic review, Brandice! 💜 Too bad this one was a let down. Hopefully your next book will be five stars worthy.
