Title: grown man writes coming of age story of young girl
Review: I read this book, beginning with relish and ending with annoyance. It felt, overall, like Curtis imagined in his head what a NE prep school might be like without ever having visited one and then imagined what it might be like to be a young woman without ever having been one of those either. His characters are distorted cariactures with no depth and no sympathetic interest. If YOU have a high school education, I suspect this book is not for you. However, if you like insipid pop-fiction, and don't mind obvious imagery and blandly overdone comic characters, go for it.
