In Some Other World, Maybe


I read this book a month ago and am just now getting to review it. Here's the thing. I don't remember much of it. Even the Goodreads description didn't jog my memory much. I remember finishing it. I remember not loving it, not hating it. But because I don't remember enough to write in my own words, here's what Goodreads says it's about:


"In December 1992, three groups of teenagers head to the theater to see the movie version of the famed Eons & Empires comic books. For Adam it's a last ditch effort to connect with something (actually, someone, the girl he's had a crush on for years) in his sleepy Florida town before he leaves for good. Passionate fan Sharon skips school in Cincinnati so she can fully appreciate the flick without interruption from her vapid almost-friends—a seemingly silly indiscretion with shocking consequences. And in suburban Chicago, Phoebe and Ollie simply want to have a nice first date and maybe fool around in the dark, if everyone they know could just stop getting in the way.

Over the next two decades, these unforgettable characters criss-cross the globe, becoming entwined by friendship, sex, ambition, fame and tragedy. "
