I know, you might be asking yourself- You seem to hate Emma Forrest why do you read all her books? Well, it's because I like the premis of her, but her work is poorly executed. Her books all run together to me. I swore when she went to the plastic surgeon in L.A. I'd read that before and I can only guess that was in Name Dropper since I went though the books I've read in the past two years and hers is the only one that was a maybe. I'm appealed by how her characters act, and I can only assume this is her. She's the woman-child who is obsessed with her dad and older men. She's the little girl who never grew up and cries for really stupid reasons. I really hated Sadie for most of this book, mostly because she was so irrational. I have no idea what Marley or any of those other men could of seen in her, but if you ask me Marley isn't very good at picking partners. I also must complain that I still don't have a solid description of her Grrrl coworkers, they are all muddled together. I agree with the person who wrote that if her work can be published anyone can.
What do You think about Cherries In The Snow (2015)?
This should really be higher than a three but it isn't really worth the four stars as the main character ended up being too immature for enjoyment and the plot and it's pacing to be near non existent. However the prose and writing of the book itself was FABULOUS. with so many amazing one line observations that I could relate to so much. And with brilliant use of makeup metaphors to bring it back to the plot of the book. As much as it is a 'chick lit' book it really isn't at all, as it's a very sad story. Not in the actions but in the emotions running under everything.
