Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill

emotional reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Occasionally profound, painfully 2014. Rife with astronomy facts, Rilke, and quirky vignettes. I absolutely lost it at “I can has boyfriend now?” Still, Offill captures something true about life stages and reconciling with aging.
