Title: UTTERLY EXHAUSTED
Review: I just finished this book and I am utterly exhausted. It seems to me it should be subtitled "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Joyce Maynard--Everything, and Then Some". She's a great observer of life, and a very good writer. Why she wasted so much of her life thinking about and longing for Salinger, an author known to be weird and self-centered and paranoid, is anybody's guess. She certainly didn't need his praise; she received that in spades from her parents. The little waif pictured on the cover of the book invokes such sadness; hopefully she can move on .......
Is the review positive or negative?
