lizakessler 's review for:
The Futures
by Anna Pitoniak
I liked the beginning of this book. It did evoke a lot of the emotions and stresses of leaving a comfortable college experience and moving to the city and hoping, hoping to find a job that pays real money and is even fulfilling.
However, the characters of the book were just as narrow and white as my experience was, despite being set five years later and in the face of legitimate economic catastrophe. So for most of the book it was a pleasant enough read for nostalgia's sake, but it wasn't mind opening in any way.
And I was completely unimpressed by the ending. I think it was meant to show the characters were growing, but nope. Didn't work for me.
