MixedLitReactorSwing Time broke the mold in some interesting ways, and managed to make the life story of a rather boring person quite entertaining ... the narrator’s own story never eclipses those of the more interesting people she is always attached to, and thus the personal revelations that should be the cornerstones of the novel feel like diversions from the Tales of Tracey and Aimee. Swing Time never amounts to more than the sum of its parts, but those parts are well-written and a worthwhile read.
