Author Meg Wolitzer produced an up-and-coming classic with her latest book, “The Interestings”. The book starts as six teens meet at summer camp and follows their friendship as they face obstacles such as cancer, death, jealousy, and love. My favorite aspect of the novel was the realism of the characters; I either wanted to jump through the pages and hug or knock some sense into them. As I was reading, I even found myself growing up alongside the characters. I sped through the book occasionally wiping a tear from my eye or laughing. I predict that this novel will soon be a popular classic due to the fact that it covered realist situations with relatable characters.
