Belzhar
by Meg Wolitzer
I really didn't have very high expectations for this book, and after reading it I'm left with kind of a funny feeling. The entire novel seemed to be leading up to a very different conclusion than we were given, and it makes the end feel unrealistic and contrived, even a bit disrespectful. The main character, Jam, is an unreliable narrator in every sense of the word, and I sort of wish I had known that going in. The writing style was really engaging and interesting, though--I finished the book in a day--which is what kept me from giving it a lower rating.
