I was okay with this book. It is about a 30 year old who returns to look after her father who is ill as her own life is falling apart. It’s sweet and comic, despite the relatively dark subject matter, and other reviewers have liked it, but for me it was a bit meh.
I think it was hurt by the fact that I read it immediately after Andrew Sean Greer’s Pulitzer-winning LESS, which is in many ways quite similar but somehow much, much better. It’s like how you would be impressed by a skater scoring 8 until you see the skater scoring 10.
And there are some true 10/10 lines. Try this, on her ex-boyfriend, who left her for someone else, someone he then more or less immediately married: “You know what else is unfair, about Joel? That I loosened the jar lid, so somebody else could open him up.”
No disrespect then to Rachel Khong: it’s hard to get a first novel published, and harder to get it reviewed well in the New York Times. Winning the Pulitzer can happen next.
