A review by essjay
Hot Air: A Novel by Marcy Dermansky
4.25
Marcy Dermansky : Messy-ass GenX Women :: Anna Dorn : Messy-ass Queer Millennials
If you know this going in, or you have read any of her work in the past, you know what to expect.
Which is the following:
• Messy-ass women that are almost entirely unlikable, but make for compelling reading nonetheless.
• An inordinate amount of messy-ass women swimming.
• Terrible decisions made by messy-ass women; you will want to scream at them "the fuck is WRONG with you?!" but you will keep reading in order to hopefully find out the fuck, in fact, is wrong with them.
My oldest read this review as I was writing this. "Oh, so like if Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was a book? No wonder you loved it!" Yes, exactly. That kid gets me.
I've read the majority of Dermansky's oeuvre, and would slot this solidly in the upper middle. It doesn't top Bad Marie for me, but really...what could?
Lots of fun, will be forcing this on people as an excellent poolside read (heh) when it's released in time for warmer weather.
