Book Reviews of The Best Awful: A Novel
Book Review: Boy, oh, boy, this book!
Summary: 3 Stars
Heartbreakingly honest at times, pretentious and facile at others, enjoyable and dear at times, achingly precious at others ... this book spans the spectrum. It's as unpredictable as the protagonist herself and the disease that afflicts her. I appreciated the unsparing account of her selfishness and guilts as she descended into madness and then bravely crawled back. But it felt more like a screenplay than a novel. It was almost as if Carrie was writing it with an eye toward the Lifetime made-for-TV movie. Still, I recommend it.
