Out East is a sort of coming of age memoir--the crystallization of a summer of weekends at Montauk with friends, where the author begins to find himself. It is at the same time full of surface level ennui from about a group of fairly privileged people getting drunk, and also soul-wrenching self-discovery. The prose is delicious, the book is lovely, and I absolutely was not welling up with tears at the end, I don't know what you're talking about.

Brnesth the surface of the Real Life -Montauk Weekends surface of this book is a lovely memoir of searching for belonging and understanding. The weekend scene depicted is about as foreign to me as polar exploration, but I was drawn in and surprised how much I enjoyed this book.

First few chapters were a bit slow, but after that I read in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. Made you think of hot lazy summers. Nice read.
Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
