Me Times Three

Me Times Three by Alex Witchel (audio)

Perhaps I should have read the hardback version of this book because I didn’t care for the audio. It seemed a bit slow and the story felt like it was dragging on forever. I did like the main character who is smart and interesting, working at her first New York job as a magazine editor. The title implies that this is a breakup book and while that story line is there it was only part of the story. She also spends many pages dealing with the illness and eventual death of her best friend to AIDS. This book was a bit more on the downer side then I expected but is interesting social commentary on 1980s upper middle class self proclaimed American royalty. -Flourish
