I love Max and her complicated relationships with her brother, friends, and boyfriend. She's the type of character I thought about during the day and I couldn't wait to get back to every night. Disappoint Me is focused on lawyer Max and the fairly mundane human drama we all suffer through. Her job is easy, she hasn't been writing poetry lately, and why does running into her ex at functions feel the way it does? Nicola Dinan's writing is fun and gossipy in an addictive yet healthy way. Her sharp prose makes you feel you're at a party just eavesdropping. I will now go read everything Dinan has written.
