A review by readingfourme
The Last Romantics by Tara Conklin

challenging emotional funny

• Diverse cast of characters? No

2.5

It’s a well-written book but, after the terrific beginning as children, the book felt like it hovered over the lives of four privileged, entitled, white adults I could feel absolutely no empathy for. They were so spoiled by the assurance of their success. I found the characters intolerable and I wonder if the author found them intolerable too. She didn’t dig in there the way she did in the beginning.
