A review by valhecka
The Man of My Dreams by Curtis Sittenfeld

3.0

This was all right. Mostly just all right. I might be going through Sittenfeld's novels too quickly; they have a sameness that's starting to wear me down. The main character is really great, and the book does a fantastic job of talking about depression and social anxiety in a low-key way. Otherwise, the things Sittenfeld does with verb tenses are more often confusing than clever, and I'm starting to resent how her characters are always upper-middle-class and vaguely homophobic.
