Fleishman Is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner
3.0
Fleiahman is in trouble. He’s in his 40s and his social climbing wife has left him with his two young children. Where is she? Toby copes with this by continuing to work enjoy his Tinder-like dating app and reaching out to old friends. The story centers around that summer she was gone as told by a college friend of Toby’s.
I wanted to love this book. I loved the last two pages and I liked the rest. The story is told in page long texts blocks and no chapters which made me feel like I had to keep barreling forward at high speed. Maybe that was intentional but it didn’t work for me. I felt rushed and couldn’t take it all in.
