The Wonder Spot is Melissa Bank’s second book and I enjoyed it just as much as her first, The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing. I like the voice that she gives to her main characters so much that it makes me think that I would like her, if I were to meet her.
In Wonder Spot Sophie Applebaum is the main character and we meet her as a teenager at her cousins bat mitzvah. Throughout her teenage years into her young professional life her struggle to find who she is and what she is meant to do is vivid. As well as her search (and disappointments) when looking for a life partner.
Sophie leads a life that can be seen as a fairly normal life…it’s just that coming from her the things that happen are more amusing, heartbreaking, more vivid. Throughout the book I found myself wanting her to find a job she loves, a man that she loves who loves her back. I wanted her to find happiness. Melissa Bank has a gift and I look forward to reading her future books.
