jas16 's review for:

The Futures by Anna Pitoniak
2.0

I won a copy of this book in a giveaway. Julia and Evan move to Manhattan together after graduating from Yale. Evan gets a job in finance during the 2008 meltdown and Julia feels adrift in a job she dislikes while he is working increasingly long hours. While Pitoniak does a good job describing that feeling of discombobulation you face when being thrust into the real world there is really nothing new or interesting here. The chapters alternate viewpoint but I found Evan and Julia's voices to be the same. I will be interested to see what the author does in the future but sadly this is not a book I would recommend.
