The Lucky Kind by Alyssa Sheinmel

emotional reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Well-written, like everything Alyssa Sheinmel puts out is. I guess I just didn't really get what the point of it all was? Definitely a "bunch of shit that happens" book without a lot of growth during the bunch of shit. Okay yeah, Nick kinda realizes he's been an asshole, but that's about it. Could have been WAY more exploration of the family dynamics and analyzing the facade of a "perfect family."
