The Comeback
by Ella Berman
While the writing itself was pretty good, this book took me (what felt like) forever to get through. That is because this title has the slowest paced plotline ever. Berman weaves the Hollywood #MeToo movement, the LA drug culture, and the oh-so-familiar curse of childhood actors into the story of Grace Turner's, a fictional celebrity, mental breakdown. Also, in addition to being a slow read, The Comeback has an insanely predictable ending which is one of my biggest literary pet peeves. Honestly, I probably should have rated this one lower, but it is difficult to give a book a "bad" rating when it is so obvious that the author has a true talent for writing. I would love to read another title from Berman in the future because I know she can write something better than this piece of literature.
