Recent example of this: trust exercise by Susan Choi. 3.14 on Goodreads. Didn’t notice that until after I bought it. Read it anyway. Highly experimental and ambiguous but in such a through provoking and well executed way. I loved it. 5/5 stars for me.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I was just reading a positive review on that and thinking 'this review's pretty good actually,' then half-way through it cuts to a link for the Washington Post. That's pretty telling...

When I read the original post, I immediately thought of the same book. I read it 2 years ago and loved it, but so many people hated it and it has one of the lowest averages of any book I've read. I also gave it 5 stars and I rarely do.
