Klantrecensies
Generational conflict with a glass of wine.
I feel this book is a good display of these generations trying to figure out who they are while being confused by the expectations of the generations before them. Finding the freedoms within love, being loveable, and friendships. It's complicated in the underlying subjects that they are trying to cut loose of the generations before them, however, the characters are still surviving and thriving because of the privileges the same generations they judge offer.
I loved this book in its complexity and simpleness at the same time.
