courtneyleeeann114 's review for:
The Spectacular Now
by Tim Tharp
I'm giving this a 4 star review because of subtle poignancy that it possessed. Sutter changes as much as he doesn't change.
His relationship with Aimee allows him the opportunity to love and be loved. And in that he learns about selflessness and the power of sacrifice. He reflects on whether one person can change the world. I think that one person can change another persons world. He changed Aimee's world, and subtly, she changed his. Him letting her go, giving her a future (even though it didn't include him) was actually heartbreaking.
Does a huge event happen that rocks his whole universe and changes him forever? Nope. He still wants to live in the moment, and for all intensive purposes is fundamentally the same. And that's why this book was good. You don't have to have a life altering event alter your whole being in order for your life to be altered.
Subtle poignancy.
