3.5

Definitely one of those early 2000s books written by middle-aged White guys who like to naval gaze, but as long as you’re prepared for that going in it’s entertaining! The author seemed self-aware at least, and I loved the New England-ness of it all. The first Richard Russo book I’ve read but likely not the last.
