I enjoyed reading this, and it seems an especially good time to read this as it fits right into the current zeitgeist. I'm not sure how well it will age, but like many books written about a time and a place, it will be a good example of what it was like for a set of people during the era. The characters are somewhat generalized... so it felt like they were very much Representatives rather than wholly deep and realistic, but I didn't mind that too much. Wolitzer writes so well; her observations stay with me long after I'm done reading.
