Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine
3.0

Treasure Island!!! isn't very long & even has some Dorthy Parker-esque short story qualities, in that you understand character from her words & actions but nothing at all accurate from her own head. This reads like Chick Lit, except the narrator doesn't actually have any of the plucky, goodhearted but mistreated qualities of the usual chick. She thinks she is pursuing important self discovery by studying Treasure Island, but she gets everything wrong, which is just what humans do all the time, if not quite so badly as *she* (main character is nameless for the whole 173). Insidiously clever, I thought, but it's really just as well that my Book Club chose not to read this one.
