How to Start a Fire by Lisa Lutz is a novel about three female college friends who manage to stick together through thick and thin over the course of 20 years.
Jumping back and forth through time and space, at first I found the novel's format disconcerting, but once I surrendered to it, everything fell into place by the end.
Lutz has created unique, well drawn characters that are impossible not to care about. Quirky, witty, clever, sad, beautiful, brave, each of these women are all of these things and more. One of the best books about female friends I've read in a long time.
