A review by kymme
The Man of My Dreams by Curtis Sittenfeld

4.0

This book didn't grab me right away, maybe because I wasn't that fascinated by Hannah at age 14, but as the book progresses and she ages, I did find her interesting, so much so that I read the whole book in under 24 hours. The family dynamics are believable and I enjoyed that Hannah had both a sister and a female cousin with whom she had complicated, but overall good, relationships with. This is a coming of age story that is, on the surface, about "getting a boyfriend," but it's far from cliched and it's quite nuanced in terms of other kinds of relationships, too.
