Meg Wolitzer: The Interestings (2013, Riverhead Books) 3 stars

Review of 'The Interestings' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Not all that interesting. Mostly pretty ordinary in fact. I don't really understand why these people became friends and I certainly don't understand why they stayed friends all through the years. They really had nothing in common besides their beloved summer camp. And that's what, 2 months each year for 3 years. I spent way more time with high school friends and no, I haven't stayed friends with hardly any of them. I was not convinced of this great enduring friendship. I was told about it, yes, but what I was shown begged to differ.

Not a terrible story by any means, just ordinary life which, unless you happen to be living it, is not all that interesting to hear/read about.
