Respectable: Crossing the Class Divide by Lynsey Hanley

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

Another book club book, and I loved the discussion but don't feel like I need to finish the book. I read the beginning and end and skimmed through the rest, and that was enough to get a sense of it - especially since it's pretty repetitive. As the author notes in an interview I watched about this book, if she'd written it today she would've written it differently - I would hope with more structural critique, because this was not so much the leftist memoir that I was expecting (e.g. essentially no analysis of race and gender intersecting with class).
