THE GIRL WHO WAS SATURDAY NIGHT (June 13/14) - Heather O'Neill

My brother said it best when he said this book is like a Wes Anderson movie in book form. It's very quirky and twee, and it really feels like O'Neill spent days crafting just one paragraph. The episode story is occasionally interesting; O'Neill certainly offers up a vivid portrait of the main character and the weirdos in her life, including her twin brother, absent father, and insane husband. But I was never engrossed, is the bottom line. I admired the book more than I enjoyed it. **1/2 out of ****
