msmichaela 's review for:
Pete and Alice in Maine
by Caitlin Shetterly
Vividly drawn characters and a plot in which not much happens externally while a whole lot shifts internally. Caitlin Shetterly’s writing has gotten on my nerves since she wrote for the local alt-weekly 20 years ago. I found a few of those tics early on, but they dissipated as I read.
One note: The whole novel is written in first person except for a few chapters in third person, each of which focuses on a different member of the family. Those shifts in perspective were a little jarring, but I think they ultimately worked? Not sure why she had to do the caricatures of Maine accents, though.
