APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This is one of the more inventive books more we’ve read in a while. Incorporating a number of diverse voices and Choose Your Own Adventure elements, Young Jane Young tracks the torrid but inspiring story of Aviva Grossman. Reeling after a much-publicised affair with her boss (a gloriously smarmy congressman), Zevin takes us through the aftermath with self-deprecation, flair and a real emotional punch. We were rooting for the likeable Aviva as much as we were desperate for her to avoid walking straight into more mistakes.
