Cheevey

by Gerald DiPego

In the tradition of "Virgin Suicides" comes an enchanting, critically acclaimed novel of a young man's coming of age in the '90s. Claude Cheever--Cheevey--is about to turn 20 and his family is disintegrating around him. But as he begins to spread his wings and experience adulthood, Cheevey learns that there is a price for letting go too soon--and not soon enough.

[Zeel Patel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very realistic book about the dysfunctions of a family. The main character is very likable and throughout the book I could feel myself rooting for him while having a lot of sympathy for him too. The arc with his love interest was disturbing but I think needed to really understand his character in depth. The highlight of the book if the natural dialogue the author writes in, it makes the book feel very realistic and adds to how depressing the story really is.
