“The Virgin Suicides” by Jeffrey Eugenides was oddly fascinating...but, in my opinion, lacking in plot development.
I left the book feeling unsure what the underlying theme/point was. Five sisters commit suicide within a single year, unrealistic, at best. The narration is morbidly detailed and I finished the book, hoping for a point of some kind. At the end I felt let down. I wouldn't strongly recommend this one.
