Rated The Clasp 8/10
A bright and fast-reading novel, riffing on the famous French short story "The Necklace," about three friends who are really too far removed from college to be so co-dependent with their college friends. Takes a while to get going and you need a Curb-Your-Enthusiasm level of tolerance for people making bad decisions and pointlessly saying the wrong thing - there's a lot of cringing and it's a little tough to sympathize with the characters. However, it's very clever and funny and well-observed, lots of the great turns of phrase that have served Crosby well as an essayist, and once the plot catches momentum it's fun to see where it goes.
