2018 book 116

Emma Straub's Modern Lovers
It is always a joy to reread something for book club and have it still be totally great and engrossing, and this one was. I think Straub is an underrated author because her books are marketed kind of as beach reads, but her stories and characters are a lot less flimsy than that label implies. This novel centers on two families in Brooklyn and their interpersonal crises—teens and adults alike. There is also a lot of talk of the food scene, the music scene, movies, yoga, families, love, etc etc. I just loke this book a lot and think everyone should read it.
