The Interestings
By Meg Wolitzer
Because who among us wasn't
planning to be a genius someday?
A hilarious, smart,
can't-put-it-down-til-it's-done novel,
The Interestings
helps every woman examine the wacko disconnect between our dreams of who we
wanted to become as teenagers—and who we want to become now that we're grown
up and can actually do something about it.
