books 2017: Modern Lovers, by Emma Straub
Jan. 22nd, 2017 09:21 pmI enjoyed this so much. I liked seeing events unfold from both the adults' and teens' perspectives; I liked the characters; I felt a lot of empathy for the adult characters feeling stuck and was pleased at the routes they found out of it. The only thing that didn't ring true was the resolution of the Zoe/Jane problem - they go on a date and things are suddenly better? I felt like their reunion should have had some deeper storytelling. But overall, a really enjoyable book.
