A Good Hard Look by Ann Napolitano

4.0

There is a garish trashiness about this novel that keeps it from being great. The characters are gratingly narcissistic. They spend the whole novel just bumping into each other while immersed in their own thoughts and concerns; picking up the pieces from the damage the bumping caused. But isn't that how most human beings live their lives? And it's that insight into human nature that made the trashiness worthwhile.
