wow. when I checked this out from my local library, I had no idea that I'd love this book as much as I did. Wolitzer does an amazing job conveying the sentiment that a mentor, someone to look up to and admire, can truly change the course of your whole life. Wolitzer's characters like Greer, Zee, Faith and even Cory were complex, relatable, and honest; I felt myself sympathizing with all of them at various moments of the book, and it was a thrill to learn how they all turned out. this was a great read!!
I don't even have real words to describe how incredible this book was, from both a craft and story perspective. It's not a wonder that Catch-22 is regarded as one of the best American novels of our time - just a wonder it took me so long to read it!
oh, this book was so good that it positively destroyed me. and toward the end very quickly became one I couldn't read on the train without blubbering. what a powerful, incredible story - and deserves all the acclaim it's receiving!
