A Reason to See You Again by Jami Attenberg

5.0

I loved this book! I looked forward to climbing into bed to read it each night. Each of the main characters are messy and realistic and relatable. I loved being inside each of their brains and along for the ride at different times throughout their lives, and the idea of how you see yourself vs how others see you was represented well. I loved the little glimpses into smaller side characters a la Amelie, some of which I would have loved to hear more from. I was sad when I realized the book was ending, I would have kept reading for another couple hundred pages at least. The writing style runs along at a brisk pace and has a very subtle comedic tone. The book spans 1971-2007, each section picking up a few years after the previous one, and it was like meeting up with a friend you haven't seen in a while but you are immediately back in sync. I just love Jami's books!
