This Beautiful Life by Helen Schulman
2.0
This book was mediocre at best. Given the plot, there is so much the author could've teased out of this story. Instead, we get overly introspective and yet ill formed characters whose motivations are unclear.
By the last few pages it feels like the author rushed to complete the book on a strict deadline with no editor. More questions are left unanswered while new ones are brought up--by the reader. The conclusion is improbable and out of left field.
The book in essence is void of exposition.

Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom by Sara Benincasa
4.0
How I came across this book I'm not quite sure but I'm glad I did. This is one funny look at a woman's struggle with agoraphobia and panic attacks. there are some dry sections but really, Benincasa does a good job of culling relevant and humorous tales
