A review by pammoore
Very Nice by Marcy Dermansky
5.0
I couldn't put it down. I kinda saw some variation on the ending coming but it was enough of a twist to surprise me; especially the final paragraph. This book explored love, desire, aging, sexuality, identity, privilege, race, and politics without feeling heavy.
If I could give the book 4.5 stars I would though; why did the characters all seem to speak with the same speech pattern- really short sentences and very limited use of contractions? I know the author made that stylistic choice for a reason but I found it a little distracting.
I look forward to reading more of her work.
