Never thought I'd like a book about a writer with relationship problems. The plot screams out boilerplate chick lit. But in OUR TRAGIC UNIVERSE the plot is like a dumb mannequin dressed in a cool coat of philosophy and science. Articulate and funny characters made me care about the mostly commonplace events. "Mostly" commonplace because the story also involves magic, which also would annoy me normally but which the author handles with just the right touch to keep me engaged and "on her side."
