Conversations with Friends

I didn't like this book at all, but I'm giving it 3 stars on the theory that I'm just not the ideal reader for it and I suppose it succeeds at what it sets out to do. I just am not that interested in the neurotic ramblings of an unlikable 21-year-old. And she's not the only one who's unlikable. I didn't care what happened to the lot of them. To top it all off, although Frances and her girlfriend do talk about a wide range of political and philosophical topics, it's hard to argue that the book is in any way ABOUT those topics. They are window dressing for a modern romance. If you like that sort of thing.
