The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

3.75

emotional hopeful lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a fun and easy read. The character exploration of AJ was done well. I did feel Amelia teetered on the edge of being a manic pixie dream girl, but overall I enjoyed this.

Again, like in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, I did feel a background character's suicide was used as a plot point for other characters, and that continues to feel exploitive to me.
