My Pear-Shaped Life
by Carmel Harrington
This was a quick and easy to read book despite covering a multitude of serious issues such as addiction, obesity and mental illness. I didn't initially warm to the main character but I could see why she was the way she was and she definitely won me over by the end. I did however really like her Uncle. I thought he really made the story.
The book has a great message about trying to find yourself and be comfortable in your own skin! I particularly liked the pretty woman moment in the mall in America, I want to shout out 'you go girl!' as I was reading it!
I enjoyed the references to the wizard of Oz through out the book as it reminded me of childhood and added a fun layer to the story.
I was a little unsure of the writing style as one minute it was in Greta's internal voice but then seemly out of nowhere it was in another characters. I completely understand the use of this to get the others characters views across so they aren't misunderstood but it was hard to follow sometimes as I was in the flow of one character and then was reading the thoughts of another. This however could have been an issue with formatting on the kindle so once I can get out of the house I will pick up a physical copy to check this!
