A review by smjohns91
The Man of My Dreams by Curtis Sittenfeld

3.0

The first book of Sittenfeld's that I read was American Wife, which I absolutely loved, and which inspired me to read Laura Bush's autobiography. To say the least, I was excited to read another one of Sittenfeld's books and The Man of My Dreams did not disappoint. It's the story of Hannah, a girl from suburban Philadelphia, and her relationships throughout her adolescent life. She constantly compares herself against her beautiful cousin Fig and the relationship between her parents. As the years go on, readers get a better sense of who she is as a character and what actually constitutes a "dream man" as she ages.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good summer or long weekend read. The language is easy to understand and it goes my quickly. The story is simple enough, but keeps readers interested.
