The Pursued and the Pursuing by AJ Odasso
3.75
This book was a delight! It was easygoing, it was short but sweet and its simplicity as a story made it all the more enjoyable to read. The language and references fit the era of the story very well and I was delighted to see how society slowly changed as these characters aged. It felt exactly as it was presented: the memoir of a man who'd spent too many years of his life surrounded by conflict and questionable morals who now wanted to enjoy his days simply surrounded by those he loved.
As an avid fanfiction reader, I'm always delighted to see different authors' perspectives on characters and AJ Odasso really brought life to Pam (Tom and Daisy's daughter) who was witty, deeply enticed by knowledge and desperate for a chance outside of the life that had been decided for her. Overall it was a nice story about forming your own family and being determined to thrive in a society that wasn't made for you.
