Six teenagers meet at an artsy summer camp in the 1970s, dub themselves "The Interestings" and begin a friendship that lasts past the summer. Four of them form a bond that spans several decades and life-changing events.
I have to come clean on this one. I was on my final renewal before I decided to actually read it. Once I started it, I wasn't sure the title was accurate, but by the second chapter, I was hooked. Wolitzer's characters and their lives seemed very real. What happens to friendship when half of the friends achieve success and wealth and the other half does not? Can you genuinely love someone when you also envy them just as deeply?
