Book Lovers: Within Arms Reach
Anyone else read Within Arms Reach and just absolutely love the New Jersey-ness? I’m planning to pitch this book to my book club, but I’m shocked at the bad reviews on Goodreads. They say all the characters are miserable. I think they’re just realistic and a true representation of the effects of intergenerational trauma and how the “bottle it up” approach of older generations really trickled down. Of course the book has lots of sad aspects, but I have cackled so many times at the spoken and internal dialogue
