But Not For Long

But Not For Long by Michelle Wildgen is about a smaill group of people living in a co-op in Madison, Wisconson, and what happens to them over the course of three days during a blackout.

This seemed more like a short story than a novel to me. Introducing several characters, showing us a small slice of their lives, and ending after a particularly traumatic incident happens, leaving us all hanging on and wanting to know more, or perhaps care more deeply.

The characters were somewhat compelling and Wildgen is a promising writer, but this book is very forgettable to me and I still haven't even figured out what the title is referring to.
