Good Riddance by Elinor LipmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
You will not like this main character, but it's an entertaining listen! Daphne inherits an annotated yearbook from her recently deceased mother, puts it in recycling in her NYC apartment building, and all hell breaks loose. A woman with one documentary under her belt swears that this yearbook tells a story that Americans need to hear. Intrigued at first, Daphne accompanies the woman to her mother's reunion in small town New Hampshire, but things just don't work out. Daphne is difficult to like--she's in a state of arrested development with her whole life, and tries really hard to not work or try hard at anything. But, like most romantic comedies, things turn out all right, and Daphne grows up a bit.
Fast, simple, entertaining read.
