A Reason to See You Again by Jami Attenberg
3.5
I like Attenberg’s writing very much, but the structure of the book, advancing in time with every chapter, made me feel like I never got to really know the characters.
Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell
4.5
Rainbow Rowell does such a great job with teen crushes, obsession, love. And Slow Dance is a great update of that format with a significant chunk of the book focused on the present-day adults. The MC’s communication challenges got a little old, but I loved this nonetheless.
Splinters: A Memoir by Leslie Jamison
4.0
A bit repetitive and sometimes obscure. Otherwise beautifully crafted.
Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner
4.0
I almost DNF’d this one—the Beamer section is just so relentlessly bleak—but once I was able to read in longer chunks, and moved on to other sections, things really picked up. Still bleak, but with more humor and less repetition.
