3 years ago keri finished reading My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park by Steve Kluger. For 1 second keri read 416 pages at 416 pages a day.
After Thought:
I love, love, love, love, love this book.
I read Last Days of Summer two years ago, and was surprised to love that one. (I’m a baseball fan and everything but didn’t expect the depth of character from a novel written in notes and letters). This one even surpassed that. Some of the plotlines were fairly predictable, but the characters were so lovely I couldn’t wait to see them. I love books about smart, funny teens who actually care about the world and the people around them and aren’t just concerned with superficial things. Even the adults in this book are fun, and I love how they get involved in the schemes of the teens.
If your name isn’t Steve Kluger or Jaclyn Moriarty, please do not write epistolary novels. You cannot live up to this.
