A review by jplassman
Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object by Laurie Colwin

3.0

I enjoyed this but it seemed dated. A lot has changed in the last 50 years and some of the mores and attitudes seem remote to me now. If I had read this when it was first published, I would have been a young teen. It makes me realize that even though relationships are still important, young women no longer have quite such man centered lives. I often wonder at the things I thought I needed to do for love. This book makes me remember why I thought that way. I can tell it was written by a young woman. I'm interested to see what her later work is like.
