In November, we read the shortest book in our podcast history: “Assembly” by Natasha Brown.
This was a controversial read for us, and our lowest rated book club read to date. That said, it definitely made for an interesting conversation to discuss a book that both confused and underwhelmed us. Talking through our own questions about the book led us down a rabbit hole of more questions concerning certain plot points, messages, and characters.
While it’s an odd feeling to disagree with the reviews of such a highly acclaimed book, it felt good to apply our own unique perspectives to form a critique of why it didn’t hit home for us.
