A review by nighthawk
The Shape of Things to Come by Maud Casey

5.0

I hesitated between four and five stars, but I realized it was because I liked the book so much that it made me like it less. I almost liked the book too much. Casey is the kind of writer that I aspire to be; she manages to capture the raw, tiny beauty of things, and the amorphous friction of being human, without sacrificing readability or lapsing into navelgazing. Which is to say, she does it all with humor and hope. Maud Casey is my latest obsession.
