Ellen's review: Set in approximately the same time as my own college graduation, I found myself thinking about all the huge decisions a person makes at a relatively young age. Significant and life-changing decisions which are based on dreams, hopes and what? Literature? I think a younger and more naive me believed that if I loved someone enough, that could get us through anything to happily ever after. Did that belief come from fairy tales, Disney or other stories? Probably.

Yet, if writers wrote stories about what it's really like to be married, who would ever take that plunge? Is this the novel that all twenty-somethings should read before seriously thinking about marriage?

I think I might have read this too fast to appreciate it well enough. I caught myself skimming several times and I don't think Eugenides work deserves to be skimmed. I might have to re-read this to truly appreciate it.
