This book was such an interesting concept, and under 200 pages, it doesn’t have time to lose that concept or get tedious. While working on a screenplay, July starts calling and interviewing people she finds in the Pennysaver. Their stories are collected here, with July’s insights about life and loss. It is a uniquely Gen X story, as she is meeting people who don’t have computers and still using newsprint and landlines in 2009. She has an iPhone herself, but it was interesting to see how much more the internet has taken over.
