I just finished reading Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld last night. I read American Wife by her as well and LOVED it, so I thought I would give this one a shot too. I have to say American Wife is much, much better as my friend Vanessa warned me.
It isn’t that Prep is a bad book. The characters are likeable, the story is interesting, but I didn’t have the burning desire to hurry and pick it up to find out more. It took me forever to finish this book and I think that was in part to the lack of draw I had to it.
However, it was well written and a story I couldn’t necessarily predict from the beginning. I can’t say I would recommend this book, given so many other awesome ones I have read lately. But if you are fresh out of book ideas it is not a snore either.
Happy reading!
