Carnegie Hill by Jonathan Vatner
Considering this books was populated with a bunch of rich people who want for little and are kind of spoiled, this was a surprisingly compelling novel. Kudos to Vatner for sketching a guy who could have been odious with a lot of nuance.
This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance! by Jonathan Evison
Don’t let the exclamation point fool you. This is an overall downer of a book.
