This is real-person fanfiction. This book is trying to cram every moment of Patsy Jefferson's life into a novel, skipping nothing, with no overarching theme. The result is a quick succession of tiny detached scenes that feels like I'm tumbling down a hill. I'm not sure what to feel about this narrative. I struggled to get through it only because a friend adores this book and I couldn't let her down.
