Committing

by Benjamin Wood

Charles Taggart is stuck in the repetition of adult life. He has a job, an apartment and everything seems fine. But after the death of a close friend and the unexpected reappearance of a lost love, Charles is left shaken. He finds himself forced to reevaluate what he wants, or whether he wants anything at all.

Blending humor and drama, Committing tells the story of a group of friends in their mid-20s struggling with the transition to adult life. In the space of one year, they are all forced to confront love and loss, joy and pain as they merely live their lives, which is perhaps the greatest commitment of all.

This is a novel about a group of twenty-somethings growing up and committing to their various loves and lives. Charles, however, doesn't know what he wants enough to commit to. Or maybe he does, but is he brave enough to commit to it? The characters in the book are well-drawn and their stories are interesting - to the point that although I foresaw the end quite early on, I got so engrossed with the story that I forgot and it took me by surprise in the end!
