They Never Learn
Layne Fargo
Gallery/Scout Press (2020)
Our group found They Never Learn to be an entertaining and fast-paced read鈥攕ome were surprised by the twists, while others saw them coming, but most agreed it was hard to put down. Themes of vigilante women, rage, justice, and double standards sparked rich conversation. While the book itself sometimes felt like 鈥済ender studies 101鈥� or lacked depth, our discussion pulled out more complexity than the text offered, leading many to feel that the feminist commentary landed more powerfully in conversation than on the page. Overall, it was enjoyable, thought-provoking, and ripe for debate鈥攍ike a fleeting gum flavor, it packed a punch in the moment but left us wanting more.
