The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz
3.0

There were some aspects of this that I really enjoyed, but most that I did not. Lewyn is an endearing character who has stuck with me after several weeks of putting this book down. Sally as a character didn’t get much appreciation from me overall while I was reading the novel, but in the aftermath, I find that I liked her story arc. Harrison… hmm. Not a very likable character, during or after.
I think this author does a good job of making realistic personalities, albeit wildly unusual ones. But, as many other reviewers have noted, the writing is tedious to get through and I remain uncertain that the characters or story is really worth the time needed to engage with this book.
