Title: An Engaging Read
Review: Melissa Bank's The Wonder Spot is an engaging novel/collection of short stories about one character. When I first started reading, I was a little annoyed that the chapters are more like stand alone short stories than parts of a novel with a unified narrative. I mean, come on, this is glorified chick lit, how hard can it be? But, I admit, Bank won me over with her excellent, evocative writing. She does an excellent job of capturing dating/single life in New York, plus the work is written cleverly with deadpan wit. The Wonder Spot is a good, quick read, intelligently written, definitely a worthwhile read.
