Writers & Lovers by Lily King
Maybe it’s because I’m a Bostonian and could relate so strongly to the setting, and being a writer myself, to that certain brand of neurosis, but King imparts so much in Writers and Lovers about being a creative soul and the insecurities and idealism that come with it. Casey is a wonderful protagonist, universally relatable, mourning the loss of her mother and trying so valiantly to make a go of a life as an artist. I was cheering for her from beginning to end and so proud that she made the love choice she did in the end. I think I would have made the other and had a very interesting conversation with myself about that!
