Ridker’s rollicking sophomore novel introduces readers to the Greenspans of Brookline, Massachusetts. The family comprises Scott and Deb, the parents, and Gideon and Maya, the kids. It is Maya’s story that is applicable here, as she falls in love with her high school English teacher, William. The relationship doesn’t start and end when Maya is in high school, though. Instead, Ridker smartly takes us into the future, showing how Maya’s feelings toward William change as she matures. If you’re looking for a smart and hilarious novel set during the peak of the Obama era, this one is for you.
