“Taut, witty, fiercely intelligent...a love triangle in extremis.”—The New York Times Book Review

Euphoria is Lily King’s nationally bestselling breakout novel of three young, gifted anthropologists of the 1930s caught in a passionate love triangle that threatens their bonds, their careers, and ultimately their lives. Inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is “dazzling...suspenseful...brilliant...an exhilarating novel” (The Boston Globe).

4 stars

If you’re into anthropology like me you will find this book fascinating. The relationships between the characters were complex.

Great story

I had to reread a couple chapters to really understand the story, but overall it was a good book.

it was just all right

It’s just all right I have nothing more to say. I don’t think I’d listen to it again.

So very boring

I really could get into this book club read. No appealing characters. I muddled through it. It was painful.

Zero character development; disjointed; boring

Idk what this was — I tried. Do not recommend. I loved “Heart, the Lover,” but this seemed like the work of an entirely different author.
