sbojo32 's review for:
The Floating Feldmans
by Elyssa Friedland
I finished this book and said "eh."
It wasn't bad. It wasn't great. It was a quick read, but there wasn't much to it. The point of view swapped between the four couples (grandparents Annette and David, son Freddy and girlfriend Natasha, daughter Elise and husband Mitch and then their two kids, Rachel and Darius). None of these people were really likeable and all were harboring secrets. Predictably, all of their secrets come out and then the last part of the book deals with the aftermath.
I feel like this book could have been better if it focused on less characters. Rachel's story wasn't ever developed. Darius' focus was on writing one college application essay which was barely hinted at. I would have really liked to see more Annette and less Elise, but overall this was readable, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
