The World of Tomorrow by Brendan Mathews

4.0

I enjoyed this book. The plot was fast-moving, the characters interesting, and the setting of Pre-War NYC fun to visit. Sure, the plot was riddled with unlikely coincidences, but so are most movies. And kinda dude-centric, but ditto. I found the brother living the fake life to be quite unlikable and unsympathetic - and I’m not sure that was the point. But there was enough variety in the points of view that it didn’t detract too much. The most compelling scenes were whenever the whole family is reunited. There was a lot of fun energy in the family dynamics that resonated with me. A fun, quick read. No regrets.
