Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven

  • This novel is told from two points of view.
  • It is a quick and enjoyable read that feels much like a John Green novel.
  • This novel is about personal challenges, seen and unseen.

What Remains of Me by Alison Gaylin

  • This novel jumps between nearly present day and 1980, and between crime scenes.
  • This novel is about the price of fame and celebrity.  It also looks at what aspiring celebrities are willing to sacrifice for their goals.
  • I enjoyed the first 80% of the novel, and was disappointed by extremely tidy ending.

You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein


  • This down-to-earth memorior shares the experiences of comedy writer Jessi Klein.
  • Klein's deadpan delivery while narrating the audiobook adds endearing charm.
  • This book isn't about Klein's brushes with celebrities.  Instead, it is about a girl, and then a woman, who doesn't feel like she fits in.
