I think this suffers from the sort of Julie & Julia thing where you're like, I love reading about Julia Child but I don't much care about this other woman. I wanted so many more coherent flashbacks than this had. Also I felt like all the other characters treated Jayne like a sort of annoying baby adult which I found annoying for so much of the book. You're telling me if you had the luxury of a trust fund you wouldn't just love to work as a dog walker and florist? I dunno they felt kind of judgey. Just OK honestly.
