Life by Committee by Corey Ann Haydu7/5/2023 Or maybe I just get that loneliness can make a person go a little crazy. Maybe I’ve just become more understanding about the mistakes people make when they’re young. I typically hate cheating in books and while that statement still stands, there was something so likable and relatable about Tab in spite of the many questionable choices she makes. It really surprised me how quickly I took Tab’s side. (So one, he doesn’t count and two, he sucks.) Unless you count Joe, the guy she’s been talking to every night who happens to be someone else’s boyfriend. She’s a young girl with an atypical upbringing and at the moment, no one to call a friend. (Well, most of them.) And the person I felt for the most was Tabitha, better known as Tab. Even when I was horrified by what was going on, I felt sympathy for these characters. It’s super messy and takes a long, unflinching look at how people react to hurt, rejection, loneliness and that desperate desire to be understood. The good Life by Committee is not a simple, black and white novel.
