The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen

3.5

funny hopeful sad medium-paced

---

3.5 rounded up. This reminded me of those family drama Christmas movies, you know the ones, where everyone is dysfunctional in their own nuclear families and they struggle until they all get together in the end at Christmas. Then they're still struggling but mom sits back with a glass of wine and watches the dysfunction with a smile. That's not exactly what happens here, but same vibe.
