A review by bethreadsandnaps
Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher

5.0

I really loved this one! And I was excited to find out that this is the first in a series, so I have a couple more to read in the series. 

Jason Fitger is in the English department at Payne University. As a faculty member, he is asked by so many people to give letters of recommendation (LORs) for current students, past students, colleagues, and others. Exasperated by his job, and perhaps life after not having any recent publishing successes, his zingers come through in these LORs. Fitger, however, is passionate about getting a paid residency or job for Darren Browles, and this thread is very interesting throughout the book because the tone is so different for Darren than all the others. 

This novel, in epistolary form (which is my favorite), is so smart and interesting. I can't wait to find more about Fitger and if he attains happiness. It's evident that the author has been or is a faculty member at a college or university.
