Narrative 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.

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.

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.

Another impulse from the new books section of the library, and I zoomed through it during the readathon. The narrator recycles a yearbook left to her by her mother and hijinks ensue. I actually felt like the most interesting character lived down the hallway....
