A Quitter's Paradise
by Elysha Chang
"A Quitter's Paradise" follows Eleanor as she navigates the aftermath of her mother's death and her declining career. The story intertwines past and present narratives, delving into Eleanor's present life, her job, and her romantic and familial relationships, while also exploring the perspectives of her young parents and sister. Despite the title suggesting a lighthearted read, the book falls short of expectations, lacking coherence and relevance between the past and present narratives. It does have a few standout moments like how they describe Eleanor's persisting unsatisfaction at work and her parents' journey as immigrants. However, on the whole the characters remain underdeveloped, and the abrupt ending leaves many loose ends unresolved.
