not my cup of tea
Bewertet mit 2 Sternen
I was drawn to this mainly because of the cover. It is so lovely. The writing is as well. Sadly it's not my cup of tea. In pieces we get to figure out that after her mother died, August moves to brooklyn with the rest of her family. She meets new friends but life isn't sugar and roses. Now her father died and she comes back. A trip down the memory lane. The prose is flowery and in fragments, which made it hard for me to really get into the story, into August feelings. I basically didn't cared all too much. The author also pays more attention to beauty then reality. I'm sorry but some of the spoken phrases are just cringeworthy when imagined spoken out loud. But I can see it being poetic. I personally would have prefered another style for the story. The jumping in the timeline also made it kinda hard to follow. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset. Either way, I got it in my store now, and am happy to be able to assist my customers with this. Without the galley I wouldn't knew whom to sell this too.
