Review: It's All Your Fault

It's All Your Fault by Paul Rudnick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

13 May 2016

Caitlin is a very good girl, home-schooled, in a family singing group, well-behaved. Her cousin, Heller, is not a good girl; she's famous and out of control. The two teens used to be best friends, but thas been a while. Now they're an odd couple, and they are funny together.

I've been a fan of Rudnick since 1989, and there were a lot of novelless-years when I missed him like crazy despite Libby Gelman-Waxner's fabulous film reviews and some filmscripts (playscripts are hard to get ahold of). I'll Take It is among my top ten novels of all time; it is both deeply kind to human foibles and funny as hell. I'm delighted he's writing novels again, although I'd probably read his grocery list if he published it.
