The Interestings follows a group of friends from a fateful summer camp meeting through the courses of their lives. Some become famous and wealthy, some struggle with relationships, making a living, and making something of their life. I enjoyed following these characters, although none are entirely likable. Meg Wolitzer has an easy and engaging style. However, by the end, the book didn't add up to much more than time spent with the characters. Though the book spans 30+ years it felt shallow in more than several places where I wish the author would have delved deeper.
