Adult Assembly Required by Abbi Waxman
3.0
e-book ARC from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
Even though it has been a few years since I read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, I was able to read Adult Assembly Required without missing a beat. Any background information the reader may need is peppered into the dialogue, so this novel can act as a stand alone.
It took me a couple of chapters to become attached to the story and characters. This is probably because all of the characters are able to "think" on the page; slightly different from an omniscient narrator. This structure threw me off at first but I got more used to it the further into the book I read.
The cast of characters is wonderful, and the settings- especially the 'illegal boardinghouse'- are delightful.
