'Still in Love' was a nice, well-written story. But it wasn't much more than 'pleasant.' More of a meditation than a novel, we basically end up taking a class with a group of students where no character makes much growth or changes in any significant way. Be prepared for a slice-of-life narrative, and not something with much in the way of a story.

I found Still in Love to be an interesting read. I work in an academic library and my partner left her dreams of being an English professor based on the way adjuncts are treated, so I found the internal workings of the university particularly interesting. However, there’s no real end to any of the plot lines. Do the adjuncts get their union? Does Anton get to finish the semester? Is the Professor a real person, or is he a figment of Mark’s imagination? There’s nothing resolved here. It’s disappointing.
