The Optimistic Decade by Heather Abel

2.0

I don't know, this one just didn't gel for me. I rarely knew what was even happening in each scene, there were too many characters that were too ill-defined, and none of their motivations made sense. The plot sounded interesting, but the writing style really made it a slog. Do not read the summary and go into this thinking it's going to be about a 90's summer camp that slowly turns into a cult. This is a slow-moving character drama with no action and little drama. Despite a few moments of genuine introspection, The Optimistic Decade left me as dry as the desert.
