A review by abetterbradley
Just Another Week in Suburbia by Les Zig
3.0
I wasn't sure how much I'd like this book after I read the reviews but I enjoyed it. It's not the best read but it's quick enough to whittle away the hours when it's cold outside.
The novel is a slice of life look into a week in the life of Casper Gray. We get to peek into what is probably the worst weeks of Casper's life.
Although brief, I thought that the author did a really nice job of describing the high school experience. And I like how those scenes of adolescent love mirrored the relationship troubles of the adult characters.
I feel that the premise of the story was a little far fetched. Casper finds an unused condom in his wife's purse days before their 7th wedding anniversary and he wrecks himself thinking the worst. And I was rooting for Casper so I felt as wrecked as he did when he saw what he saw. I think I may have gasped aloud.
Really good read all around.
