The Good Life by Jay McInerney
2.0
I guess I expected a lot more from this novel, and who can blame me after reading [b:Bright Lights, Big City|86147|Bright Lights, Big City|Jay McInerney|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1399647015s/86147.jpg|144128]? I read this because I’m interested in post-9/11 fiction and whilst this book deals with this as an event, the real focus of this novel is the characters and their relationships. Whilst that was fun to read about, I don’t really enjoy domestic dramas especially in the time period it was set in.
I was underwhelmed by this simply because I expected it was going to be something else. But McInerney has still proved himself as a wonderful writer of humanity and it’s complexities.
