A review by readerrachelle
Fishbowl by Bradley Somer
4.0
I received this book for free from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Fishbowl was unexpectedly quirky and delightful.
A fantastic novel that is equal parts, uninhibitedly funny and thought provoking. An unusual and captivating look at the lives of the inhabitants of an apartment building. Somer has a rare talent for making each and every character relatable, even as you feel a mild disdain for some.
I particularly loved the writing style, it filled me with a sense of whimsy I have not experienced since reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The author presents a number of flawed characters, characters with secret struggles that would normally feel clumsy or heavy handed, Somer handles with a deftness and compassion that strikes straight at your heart.
