In reply to Katie @ Doing Dewey. As long as your expectations for revelations or deep writing aren't too high, it's a fun, light read.

I’ve heard mixed things about this one, but I think it’s something I’d enjoy when I’m looking for a fun read!

I have this from the library but don’t think I will get to it this month. But I might later. It’s sounds entertaining enough. All those recession novels sort of interest me.

What a nice description, Catherine! So far, I’ve not heard anyone say that they were “wowed” by this novel; I’ll likely pass unless I really need to grab something quickly. Thanks so much for the wonderful assessment, as always.

Great review of The Futures. You saw some angles that I hadn’t considered. For me the book had a lot to do with the mindset of the Millennial generation. My review posts tomorrow!

You did it!! And did it well. Last sentence pretty much sums it right up.

Yo were bit more generous with this one than I was but agree that the jumping around did lend it a millennial feel. I think my biggest problem was that it didn’t feel as if Julia ad Evan had a love worth fighting for. At all.
