ellemnope 's review for:

Lucky Us by Amy Bloom
2.0

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. And I never lie about books...

The actual rating is 2.5, but Goodreads doesn't let me do 1/2 stars. This one was okay. It had good potential and good pieces, but there were just too many awkward things. The writing felt a little choppy and disheveled, including the organization of the chapters. In fact, some chapters could probably been left out - they more left me confused and/or frustrated than helped the story. It reads like some weirdo acid trip. The switch of narration between 1st person and 3rd person was a good idea in theory, but the execution was lacking and just left me having to decipher who was talking at the beginning of each chapter. Oh...and the ending sucked. It was way too quick and didn't have enough detail. I was not happy with the ending at all.
