A review by harleyglynn
The Co-op by Tarah DeWitt

lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

There were parts of this I enjoyed and others I hated. The flashbacks to their summer of young love hit me with a nostalgia I was not expecting. However, the current-day perspective chapters were infuriating. I can understand that childhood trauma affects people differently but, man, these two are messed up. Talk about a seriously dysfunctional, toxic relationship like 75% of the time. There is character growth but I'm not sure it offset the dysfunction and unresolved issues between them. There were parts I thought were well done, including the way the author illustrates the rollercoaster of grief. I also loved the Santa Cruz setting.
