I am usually not a character-based reader, but Emma Straub may have converted me. 
I absolutely adored this book. Reading it in my mid-twenties was the perfect time to read this, nestled between the teenagers and their parents, understanding and relating to parts of both of their stories. I loved seeing the characters ebb and flow, in both their selves and their relationships with each other.

There's something about a story that deals with coming to terms with the past and the future that is so resonant to me right now.

This is...okay. It has the occasional funny moment, but it's boring. The characters and plot feel stereotypical and are terrible without being interesting. Eighteen-year-old Ruby is the most intriguing, but she still made me roll my eyes.
