kricketa 's review for:
Second Hand
by Michael Zadoorian
i'll try not to give anything away before the book club discussion--
wavering between 4/5 stars. i really enjoyed this. it had me scribbling down quotes and also made me cry. the detroit setting is awesome. the character of theresa is awesome. i thought zadoorian really hit the aspect of her mental illness spot on, and all the parts about what she does at work just made me weep. zadoorian also says some very wise words about people and their stuff, why we hold onto what we hold onto and what we think it will do for us. i wrote a bunch of stuff down at home that i'll put in here later.
that said, i didn't get that attached to the main character. i found him just a little bit wimpy. but he redeemed himself in the end, and i wept all through the ending too.
looking forward to discussing this one! i think my favorite part of it is that it is something i never would have chosen to read had it not been for book club.
