Safekeeping by Abigail Thomas

This book was okay. I felt like I never got the story. I was never let in. I was never convinced that I should care. Though the writing was good, and I think, maybe the story was interesting.

Oh, how I identified with the same pull of New York as Sohini. Though we grew up in different times, in different parts of the world, we read and were swept away by the same books. We found the same magic in the streets. As much as New York has chang ...more
