The Survivalists by Kashana Cauley

 Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023--San Antonio

The Survivalists by Kashana Cauley has been on lists of books to read this year, but I found it to be BORING!!  Most of it is detailed descriptions of the day-to-day thoughts and events in the life of a female lawyer who has moved from the Midwest to New York City and worked her way up to the point where she seems to be the top mid-level one on the office team with hopes of being named a partner only to find that a new face has shown up at that level and has become the preferred person to the point that she is even given the court case that the protagonist has spent weeks preparing.  In the meantime, her boring private life is also described in detail.  I believe I could write a synopsis of this whole book in 10 sentences or less and that a reader who had read it would find no unexpected surprises when reading the whole book!  I do not recommend it to anyone except maybe someone who needs a book to read and has already read everything else available.  I gave the book 2 1/2 stars out of 5.
