A review by traciemasek
Last Things by Jenny Offill

3.0

I found this super engaging and imaginative and heart breaking but I’m writing this review 2 weeks after I finished the book and already completely forgot about it. Had to read the blurb to remember what it was about so I took at star off for its lack of staying power.

Maybe I should have given it four bc it does involve some of my favorite tropes: coming of age in the 80s, science education, New Orleans, and a hint of magical realism intertwined with intensifying family drama.
