Chronicle During Books Good Riddance
Daphne Maritch doesn't quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of '68 had dedicated its yearbook, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion, scribbling notes and observations after each one—not always charitably—and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds.In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not, Daphne concluded, "spark joy"), she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it's found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker, the yearbook's mysteries—not to mention her own family's—take on a whole new urgency, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd.

Daphne Maritch inherits a yearbook from her mother after she passed. Inside are a number of notes about the class who had dedicated the yearbook to her. While decluttering, Daphne discarded the yearbook only for it to by found by one of her neighbors who was certain that the yearbook could be a great story for a documentary. Soon, Daphne finds out secrets that turn her world upside down. At first, I found myself involved in this book. I thought the plot was interesting and compelling, but then IGood Riddance is a about Daphne, a recently divorced almost thirty year old woman living in Manhattan who attempts to spark joy by cleaning out her apartment and finds that throwing out her mother's copy of a 1968 high school yearbook changes her life.This book has a light hearted tone but its improbability--regarding biology--and extremely dated everything else makes it a bust. In 1968, Daphne's mother was a first year teacher who won over the students to the extent they dedicated the yearbook
Good Riddance. The title of this book pretty much sums up how I felt when I finally finished it. This is billed as a funny romance novel, but it feels like a rambling mess that's neither romantic nor overly funny. Daphne, a thirty-something not long out of a failed marriage and with no obvious job skills, throws away her mother's yearbook. It's subsequently retrieved by a nosy and ambitious neighbor that sees it as her path to success in the documentary/podcast industry. In her desperate

Playful, witty, smart. The perfect novel to turn to if you need a break from scary suspense, World War II and even uplifting memoirs. Elinor Lipman is a smooth writer and sharp observer of popular culture.
I never thought Id give an Elinor Lipman book anything less than four or five stars...at least til I read her newest novel. Heres my two star review.Elinor Lipman basically writes the same book with every one she writes. The main character is usually a young woman who is emeshed in a large family and milieu filled with colorful and lovable people. While there is usually a problem the young woman has to solve, the books always end happily. Sometimes tragedy will strike a minor character, but
Elinor Lipman may write what are classified as chick lit or romance books, but to me they're refreshing, enjoyable palate cleansers. I read so many dark thrillers that an occasional relief is good, and a Lipman book always fits the bill. Daphne was fun and cute but not very likeable. I liked the male characters the most, both the dad and the boyfriend across the hall were wise and good. Two thumbs up yet not as good as some of Lipman's previous offerings.
Update: New review 12/14/18Daphne Maritch, finally free of Pickering, New Hampshire and stupid mistakes made even here in NYC, has read that book about decluttering your home and hugging your stuff to see if they bring you joy or hate or painful memories that may lead to eating a pint of ice cream with a half cup of bourbon on top. This will then lead you to the trash or recycle bins in the basement of your apartment building to throw out all the meaningless stuff youve collected, including the
