A review by fschulenberg
You Have a Friend in 10A by Maggie Shipstead
dark
sad
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.25
Overall, really not my favorite! Sort of disconnected, somber, and hard to get into characters and plots.
Stand out stories
- backcountry (actually really cool, about aging and what you hold onto)
- la moretta (deranged, bizarre, nightmarish)
-angel lust (interesting, also slightly deranged)
Some stand out quotes
“I’ve spent my whole life believing in silliness”
“She should have understood that even a life lived properly, better than she was living, could bring so much grief”
“I’m afraid we don’t get to chose what haunts us”
