"In a delightful new romantic comedy from Elinor Lipman, one woman's trash becomes another woman's treasure, with deliriously entertaining results. Daphne Maritch doesn't quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of '69 had dedicated its yearbook, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion, scribbling notes and observations after each one--not always charitably--and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not, Daphne concluded, "spark joy"), she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it's found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker, the yearbook's mysteries--not to mention her own family's--take on a whole new urgency, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd. Good Riddance is a pitch-perfect, whip-smart new novel from an "enchanting, infinitely witty yet serious, exceptionally intelligent, wholly original, and Austen-like stylist" (Washington Post)"--… (altro)

Who would have known that a 50 year old yearbook would create such havoc?

Daphne throws out her mother's yearbook which was willed to her after her death (who was a beloved school teacher there years ago). She did the “Marie Kondo” if it doesn't bring you joy get rid of it. In comes her nosy neighbor who found it and said she was a documentatrian and wanted to do one on the yearbook. She drags Daphne to the reunion in New Hampshire. It all goes crazy from there with Daphne's trying to get it back and her neighbor Jeremy who she hooks up with and her father and other people from her parents past since her father was a principal at the same school.

I've always enjoyed her books and they are always humorous in many ways. ( )

Every book I read in 2018 was exceptional, and I was in suspense to see which book would end my streak. The answer is this book. I am surprised there are so many positive reviews. ( )

Looking for something not too heavy, but well written, entertaining, and provocative? Elinor Lipman always delivers. In this romantic comedy, Daphne Maritch, a recently divorced New Yorker, throws out the heavily annotated yearbook her mother left her explicitly in her will. A neighbor who is a documentary film maker fishes it out of the recycle bin and sees a perfect subject. Who owns the story? What will Daphne and the film maker uncover? Will Daphne find true love? Will her father who moves to New York from their New Hampshire home to be close to his daughter and live the next chapter of his life? And what was her mother up to back when she was a young teacher? Lots of fun. ( )

A college friend of mine had the entire collection of her grandparents love letters (which were quite explicit) thrown out by her aunt, and used in an art project of a stranger. She only found out, because we stumbled on the exhibit in NYC once summer. Years of therapy haven't helped her yet. this book would set her back. ( )

This book was hilarious, the dialogue made me laugh out loud. I didnÛªt think that I would connect well with the characters in the beginning, but I was surprised how quickly it drew me in and how infuriated I was on Daphne‰Ûªs behalf.

There were a few choices that Daphne makes that I don‰Ûªt agree with, but overall I really enjoyed this book. I loved the character of Tom Maritch. This reminded me of Marie Semple‰Ûªs writing, which I also enjoy.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. ( )

For a few weeks after my mother's death, I was in possession of the painstakingly annotated high school yearbook that had been dedicated to her by the grateful class of 1968.

His parents had packed, in lieu of any confection, pear slices with tofu brie. The birthday boy, Beckett, selected a helper, Finn, who asked each child sitting in the circle whether he or she wanted the alleged treat.
I was relegated to the waiting room because I'd flunked the sister test—apparently a ruse used by every friend posing as next of kin.
There was a silence I could read: How to negotiate with Daphne when she's like this?
Oh, the phrases that were passing between the divorced daughter and the widowed dad these days!
A key? I'm sure possession of that didn't have any meaning beyond my being a trustworthy neighbor should an emergency arise.
