I wish more had happened in this book. The characters were interesting, but the story just kind of wandered. Low pick.

#OffMyShelf “orange cover”
#37by37 Readathon

A classic in trans literature and I love the non-ending - it felt honest. Maria is having a quarter-life crisis and manages to lose her job, girlfriend and apartment all in 24 hours. What trans wisdom could she possibly impart to maybe trans maybe not trans pothead JamesH in podunk Nevada? Raw, funny, provocative, and insightful. No one has all the answers.

I loved this. It was not what I expected, but that may be a good thing. Billy was my favorite, of course, but all the characters had their moments. And the prose was memorable. (Map in the background does not include the Lincoln Highway, but it‘s what I had in the house. 🤷🏻‍♀️) #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3d
SamAnne Loved this one too, although I had a few issues with the ending which did not land well for me. 2d
Lcsmcat @SamAnne Agreed. I struggle with how they left Duchess. Was it a “if he hadn‘t been greedy he‘d have made it to shore” ending? Or just a way to get rid of a character Towles couldn‘t figure out how to disconnect from Emmett? 2d

SamAnne Agree! And was on the fence about Duchess sidekick‘s ending? He decided to end it after having the best day? Maybe….maybe not. But truly loved it! 2d
Lcsmcat @SamAnne Wooly‘s suicide made sense to me (as much as a suicide can.) He had disappointed his sister, the only family member on his side, and was looking at going back to Salina‘s. And then he got his one-of-a-kind day, finally. He wanted to go out happy. But I don‘t think, if he‘d known Billy would come, that he‘d have done it. 2d
SamAnne Hmm. Yes I can see it. 2d

I've wanted to read this book ever since it was mentioned in another book. I'm glad I finally did, because I'm deeply impressed that Highsmith wrote a w/w love story in the 50ties!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25

Loved hearing Wilson speak, then meeting him afterward, recently in Nashville! He‘s so funny, quirky, and sweet. This was not my fave of his, but still enjoyable.

I hadn't read Wilson before and this was quieter than I was expecting. Quietly amusing, quietly revealing, quietly affecting. Perhaps a bit thinner than it could be, but I quietly enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This book was just good to read.
It is light and happy, all the characters are immensely likeable, and there is so much emotional introspection from all five of the "main" people, it's just enjoyable.
There is also a focus on male friendship and found family that is rarely shown, and of true family loving each other while fundamentally, though not purposely, misunderstanding each other.
If you need a fun, happy break, I recommend this!
