All Grown Up by Jami AttenbergMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I joined Book of the Month Club and I'm not sure I've learned how to pick the right book each month. This was my first or second pick, and I didn't love it. It's about a single woman in NYC, somewhat self-absorbed, whose brother and his wife have a baby with a chronic and life-shortening condition. Told in (confusing) vignettes, the book jumps around different parts of their lives, building characters through fragments rather than full character development. The main character isn't particularly likable, nor was the non-linear plot compelling in its presentation.
