The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz
3.25
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I really enjoyed the first 2/3 and then the narrator switched to the youngest of the Oppenheimer children and all nuance, conflict and momentum disappeared. What an odd, unfortunate way to wrap up an otherwise enjoyable book.
