The Clasp by Sloane Crosley
5.0
I laughed more in this book than I have in a long time with a book. I got it from my library through their “blind date book” month . The wrapper said “reconnect with some college buddies over a hunt for lost treasure“ .I was expecting something Indiana Jones. This was completely different. I’d never heard of this book.
I’m usually a murder mystery kind of a girl, so this was quite unexpected. Three 30 year olds( old college friends) reconnect at a wedding. They all are making their lives out to be better than what what they really feel. The story carried on from there. No spoilers. It made me grateful not to be 30 years old anymore. Ha ha. It was funny, quirky. Nice balance of humour, sarcasm, friendship. If I read this book when I was 30 I’d probably find them all irritating but now that I am older, I can understand them . I’m giving this five stars because it was a fun change from my usual serious fare. Crosley’s details were the cherry on top. (I’m also currently reading Oliver Twist so this was really a nice change ).
