really liked it

I love Nell Zink! No one writes like her. Except this novel, which reads like her writing like other people. Maybe Jonathan Lethem Franzen or something. Not a bad thing; just not as crazy wild and amazingly different as previous novels.

I'm glad someone -- and especially her -- wrote about 80s/90s indie-rock culture. She knows of what she speaks! Then, however, the book for me gets bogged down a bit in the middle, and finally comes on strong at the end. I liked these people; I cared about these people (or at least most of them). I didn't want to relive 2016 tho. Ugh. Can we just call a moratorium on Trump mentions in all novels for at least 5 years? Thanks.
