A review by schopflin
When We Were Bad by Charlotte Mendelson

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I started this book wondering why I have such trouble with Charlotte Mendelson's books. So well-written! Such clever observations! And then the frustratingly passive characters then put themselves into excruciating situations and I sat there wincing. I would still recommend this book, but you may need a strong stomach for social embarrassment.
