The Smash-Up by Ali Benjamin
4.0

This book looks at who we are as a society - how the news and media and social media have changed and how they change us. It looks at truth - what is it? It looks at one particular marriage.

I had trouble getting started with this book. It's a framed book, and because of the frame it took me a little while to grab the context and characters.

Something I found interesting about the book is that a LOT of it is about Zo and how she is/was changed by the Trump election and accompanying events....but it's told through the eyes of her husband, Ethan. (who does have his own plotline).
