Plot or Character Driven: A mix

This book is mostly really well written, but the alternating timeline perspective took a minute to get used to. And while this book is good - I wish I had read it at a different time, when the threat of major climate disasters like this one actually happening weren’t so real.

i have never read Huck Funn & know 0 things about it, but I still really enjoyed this book. It is so well written and the audiobook was well narrated. This story is an example of there are two sides to every story. The depictions of what slaves experienced and how they were treated are heartbreaking. 

Wow. This book got me good. It was fascinating to be in Emma's mind as she approached a year of sobriety, a time when she was supposed to be magically all better, but was still struggling in ways. Some of her emotions and thoughts were messy but so real. I loved this book. 

I'd never heard of the Hipster Grifter before this. I appreciate how Kari openly shared her wrongdoings, but it all felt very surface level. I, as the reader, did not feel like we got any background on her moticating factors. After reading an article, I also realized how she sugarcoated some of her past actions and left out a lot of things she had done. Which I get - you only have so much room in a book. But - it just felt too shallow. I don't think I'd recommend this as a memoir, though the tea is really good.
