Fiction by Susan Choi
In 1982 a group of teens begins their time learning theater at a performing arts high school — oh wait, excuse me; I meant “theatre.” Yes, the people in this book are just as pretentious as that sounds. I almost gave up reading after meeting so many unpleasant characters; however, I persevered.
After I finished reading, I went looking for reviews from others who had read it, because I was wondering what the heck had just happened at the end. I discovered that many other readers were confused, but the reviews were split between those who loved and those who hated the book.
In my opinion it was an unnecessarily complicated story about unlikable people. But to be honest, that is often the sort of thing that wins book awards…
I’ll have to go with the reviewer Becca Hoetger who (cleverly) said, “I did not enjoy this book.”
