Adam Langer: The Washington Story

A book mainly about Chicago in the 1980s. The book begins nice and entertaining, and in the middle it gets even interesting. At first I did not know where the author wants to go, because while his protagonists are in high school, things do happen, but mostly don't lead anywhere. This changes when the main characters leave school and go to college, form new relationships and remodel existing ones, including the ones in their families, of which we then learn quite a bit. That is the point where it gets interesting, and stays so until the end. Birthday present from my wife.
