Finally getting around to Joanna Schupe, and I hate to say it folks, but I don't think we're a match. While I liked these being set in New York and her focus on poor immigrant families during that time, I didn't find the core relationship to be all that compelling or worth rooting for. I think the hero does redeem himself at the end, but much of the development of their relationship felt forced.
