Modern Lovers

Nice story. I'm glad everyone had a happy ending.

you have no idea how disappointed i am that a book focused on three couples, one of which was a guitarist wife and bassist husband, did not deliver

I heard an interview with Emma Straub on Fresh Airanf it was only then that I realized she was the daughter of famous horror author, Peter Straub. Emma Straub mentioned being inspired to write the book after her father had done serious health issues and that made her take stock of their relationship. It was a really touching interview, which I'm not doing justice.

However, I didn't make it far in the book. The characters weren't holding my attention. It may be that I've read or am reading so many really great books lately that this one couldn't stack up. At some point, I may try again because I didn't get to the bits inspired by her father's illness.

Warm and fuzzy character drama about love, parenting, and art in Brooklyn. Really, really hit the spot, I left this novel wanting to spend more time in its world.
