A special thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Oh Sarah... I really wanted to like your book so much more than I actually did. I kept waiting for something to happen, some epiphany but nothing really happened.
Her accolades and experience are impressive. I'm sure she's a gifted writer, in fact I would actually like to read some of her music reviews which are probably fantastic, but I really didn't care for her style. Her story is told so rapidly, like one giant conversation that makes your head spin. You know when you haven't seen someone for a long time, and you talk incessantly, cramming in a lifetimes worth of conversation into one evening? That's how I felt reading this. I didn't feel like she had found her voice or her place in life, perhaps that is why she wrote the book like this? I just craved more detail from her not the staccato storytelling.
I was also waiting for a proper conclusion; I thought that the ending would mark something monumental but there was no build up and it just ended. It was as if her goal was to cover off as as much as possible without going into any detail.
