Tuesday Nights in 1980 vaguely reminded me of a mixture of Rent, James Frey's Bright Shiny Morning, and Sweetbitter. This book wasn't bad, per se, but there was nothing incredibly intriguing about it, nothing that really pulled me in. I think this could be a really awesome book for some readers, but it wasn't something that I was crazy about.
The writing was fine. The story was okay. The characters had pretty okay development and background. I just didn't feel anything either way.
It was interesting to see how everyone intertwined, and there was one little kicker that I may have noticed if I'd paid more attention, but when I read it I thought "Wow! That makes sense," but also "Wow! What a twist."
This novel is a bit of a coming-of-age, finding-yourself type book, even though most of the characters are older (20s, 30s, maybe older).
Again, this book didn't particularly stand out to me, but may be a great read for a reader who enjoys this genre more than I do.
