Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

4.0

---

Rainbow Rowell’s books never fail to entertain me. Her writing is hilarious and inviting. She creates such realistic characters and really makes you care for them. I find myself relating to her characters, no matter what their age. In this novel in particular, the characters are older than I am, in their late 20s. However, I still cared about them and was able to get in there heads. The only issue that I had with this was the use of older pop culture references that I didn’t understand, but it wasn’t a major issue. What is really refreshing about Rowell’s stories is that they are entertaining yet realistic. She doesn’t create over the top scenarios in order to amuse readers, unlike other contemporary authors I’ve read; this makes her stories more relatable yet still attention grabbing and enjoyable to read. Attachments was filled with just the right balance of humor and real life drama which kept me wanting to read more. She has recently become one of my favorite authors, and her writing has convinced me that I can enjoy well written contemporary novels (I mainly read fantasy). I can’t wait to read more from her!
