I hate our narrator, Reva, and Trevor I am also comforted by them. I loved the moment I picked up it was leading to 9/11 and I loved how unaffected the vapid and unbearable narrator is by it. My Year of R&R is beautifully written, funny, and meaningless. A breezy read that leaves me as unchanged as its narrator.
