Wayward by Dana Spiotta
3.75
emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The writing is engaging, but the plot felt a bit tired. Challenging to stand out this year when you write about dying and dead mothers. The resolution was incomplete and felt like “this too shall pass”.
