raeannmichelle 's review for:

A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
4.25
challenging emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The amount of complexity packed into a semi-short read is incredible. The characters and connections are truly enjoyable to discover. And I appreciated the commentary of technology, music, and culture. The PowerPoint chapter was not overhyped.

Some of the threads were left untied, which may have been a literary choice, but I wanna know what became of Jocelyn and others from the narrative.
