The Beginner’s Goodbye by Anne Tyler
fast-paced
4.25
Coming to this book after a somewhat self-induced reading hiatus. This was an easy read, fast-paced (though it personally took me a while to finish) and an engaging premise. Though the main character was frustrating at times, he was never a deterrent. The end was very poignant to the extent that I’ve come away with a wonderful life lesson. Also s/o Baltimore!
This was my first Anne Tyler, and I would like to compare her to Joan Bauer both thematically and stylistically. Reading this brought me back to middle school, when ‘Hope Was Here’ was my favorite book. Had a nice little time reading Tyler and look forward to reading her other works, most of which I do own because as a book consumer, I am a completionist unfortunately. Thank God I liked this book!
