Ok, largo recorrido por los avatares de la vida de "los interesantes", y de todos, en realidad... La forma en que está escrita esta novela es genial, el cómo cuenta cosas tan sencillas de manera fluida y atrapante; personajes entrañables e "interesantes", sí, aunque quizá no por lo que creen ellos jeje :) Está muy bien.

Reading this book wasn't wholly unenjoyable, but I spent a lot of time waiting for someone to call the primary narrator out for her incredibly shallow point of view. And even when it seemed like there was a turning point, nothing really changed. Thankfully there were brief moments of narration from other characters, but I'm unsure why that wasn't extended to more of the group.
I wouldn't dissuade anyone from reading this book, but it fell short of what I'd hoped it was.

A sprawling tale of friendship and all that it entails, following the lives of Jules, Ash, and Ethan from their teens through their early 50's. The last line of the book encapsulates the overall momentum of the narrative, describing the world as "an animated sequence of longing and envy and self-hatred and grandiosity and failure and success, a strange and endless cartoon loop that you couldn't stop watching, because, despite all you knew by now, it was still so interesting."
But don't let knowing the last sentence stop you from reading all that comes before... the characters truly are some "interestings" you'll be happy that you met.
