Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby
4.0
Hornby, once again, does not disappoint. Hornby's skill at depicting totally disfunctional relationships is so great, I must believe he has had a few in his life....
Juliet, Naked is for all of us out there who have ever been obsessed with a band, and possibly even put that band before our loved ones. After a cross-Atlantic trek to the mecca of Duncan's favorite band, Annie decides she's had enough wasting her life away. The two separate, but only after the lead singer of Duncan's favorite band (Tucker Crowe), has started to email Annie--and they find they have a lot more in common than either expected.
Although the longest of Hornby's books that I've read, this is thoroughly enjoyable and a pretty quick read. His humor continues to stand out, and make something like the break up of a 15 year relationship seem pretty OK.
