Stay True

5 stars

Hua Hsu's touching memoir hits all the right notes for me as a fellow member of Generation X -- early experiments with the Internet, turning up the nose at frat boys who liked Dave Matthews, and so on. But the book is, of course, about friendship, and it all rings true. I don't think it is a spoiler to say that near the end of the book Hsu observes that with his friends from college, they could have stayed together forever or drifted apart -- a sobering reminder of the small events or chance happenings on which friendships sometimes hinge. Hsu's book is moving, tragic, thoughtful, funny, and I couldn't stop reading it. Top notch.
