Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I received this book as an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.
I should start by saying that I was in the mood for something different when I decided to review this book. I tend to read a lot of the same type of book, so I was going to mix it up. I really wanted to like Birdy Flynn, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. From what I read in the beginning, the writing felt disjointed and choppy. I didn't relate to the characters, so I found it hard to connect.
Again, this book isn't what I normally read, and I didn't finish, so you may enjoy this book more than I did!… (altro)

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I received an Early Reviewers copy from LibraryThing of Birdy Flynn. I don't know how many times I have started and stopped this book, but I can't get past the cat. Maybe I should have realized it would be a big part of the story after reading the back cover, but I didn't. I finally forced myself through the torture and drowning (not a spoiler - it's on the back cover) and thought that would be it and I could keep reading. It wasn't and I couldn't. Really disappointed.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I'm going to start this by saying this book is not my usual reading fare, so perhaps my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.
That being said, I wanted to like this book, I just didn't. The writing itself was decent. It was unique and yet still easy to grasp. The characters were written in a way that made them seem like living breathing people. Not just well written, but alive. People with secrets and flaws. People you may not want to know in real life, or already do.
I didn't find the book particularly moving, just kind of heartbreaking. Perhaps it's just not my kind of book.
*I received an ARC in exchange for a fair and honesty review.… (altro)

This book just wasn't my cup of tea. There's a graphic scene in the beginning that was very descriptive, not a bad thing, just didn't get very far beyond that. The setting was a bit gritty and took place during the 80s? Some social issues are addressed in the novel, so if you are more into realistic, gritty coming-of-age stories, then you may enjoy this book more.
