Literary fiction at its finest. A complex read, but the characters feel real. It’s like life taken to its most interesting

My first foray into the world of Jennifer Egan. Wasn't wild about it, but would recommend checking it out.

It felt like I was re reading Jonathan Franzens books "Freedom". I didn't feel there was anything special about this book....
Until we get near the end. it was FREAKING AWESOME!
I loved the slide diary. genius. Must read this book.

A book I'm still thinking about after the fact. I wouldn't say I'm liking it though, cause it's not my usual genre, but it's enough to go off of anyways.
