This reads like a collection of notes the author had from writing My Name is Lucy Barton. It’s good, and some of the characters I was really invested in. I love the style of examining a world from multiple characters all related in some way (like Olive Kitteridge). However these characters were mostly disconnected. I liked most independently but I did want more Lucy. What would have made this better is if everyone was more tangled with Lucy’s story, rather than just the gossip her mother wanted to share.
