| We Wish You Luck by Caroline Zancan (January 14, 2020 / Riverhead) |
[I was provided a copy of this release from the publisher in exchange for an honest review]
When a famed professor sabotages one of their group with no repercussions from her superiors, the group puts a plan in motion to bring justice to their friend and fellow writer.
“But even before the things we’re about to tell you started to happen, no pair interested us half as much as Leslie Spencer and Hannah Arya, and eventually Jimmy Fiero, their unlikely third—the heroes of this story, we think, at least, and the strangest, most singular people any of us had ever met, even at the outset of all this.”
Told in a collective voice, We Wish You Luck (released 1/14/20) by Caroline Zancan reflects on a scandalous and tragic series of events that unfold during a low-residency MFA program. Despite the dark undercurrents, Zancan zeroes in on the individuality of each writer and their unique interconnectedness in heart-aching detail.
I read this last month and meant to review it much sooner than today, but obviously that didn’t happen. I’m not sure I’ve recovered from the holidays yet. Anyone else?

I really liked this book as well and you're exactly right- it's the way she describes the interactions. It brought college back so clearly for me.
Your photo is stunning!
I love books with college settings. I think it's the learning nerd in me. 🤓
