I’m having trouble summing up my thoughts about “The Interestings”, so I’ll just share what I liked about it. I liked the slow paced, reflective nature of the writing style. I liked watching the characters grow and make erroneous decisions. I liked examining what makes someone “special” and what believing you are “special” does to a person’s ego and psyche. I don’t think this book is for everyone, and again I don’t have the words as to why, but it was for me and I’m glad I picked up the physical copy after my audiobook hold ran out.
