Just Another Week in Suburbia by Les Zig

4.0

It's rare to find a book about something as banal as "just another week in suburbia" but once you're done with Les Zig's tale, you'll come to think about whether there is such a thing as a normal week. Just another week in suburbia follows Caspar Gray, a high school teacher who is about to celebrate his 7th wedding anniversary with his wife. Through the course of the week Caspar has to face little challenges and surprises that all build up to a huge crescendo on Friday, and his life comes crashing down around him. Caspar has to spend the weekend battling through a haze of confusion and decide what is really important to him to be happy. A beautiful and honest look at marriage, adult friendships, and how our inner monologues can affect our outer lives, Just Another Week in Suburbia had me hooked right until the very end.
