Not a bad read, but not grabbling.

Somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars, but I don't feel right about rounding up this time.

There are several rambling parts that are deadly boring, just blah blah blah about beauty or The Writer's Life or whatever; I strongly suggest skipping these bits. Basically, whenever you sense that Maugham is straying from the plot just skim until he picks the thread back up, it makes the book much more enjoyable.

That being said, I'm glad I finished it because I liked the way he ended things quite a bit.… (mer)

This “social satire” was an interesting read. I felt it was meandering at times and I sometimes struggled to determine the tone Maugham was going for. Nonetheless, I felt there was some unique commentary on sexual liberation of women as well as class. The internal thoughts of the narrator seemed to dip into nonfiction/literary criticism at times. Content warning for casual antisemitism and use of the n-word in dialogue.
