A review by kateleos
Cherry by Mary Karr

3.0

This is probably more like a 3.5. Overall, it was effective and enjoyable, especially the first 2/3 or so - her junior high years. But the last third of the book is...less so, and the last 30 pages, full of acid-trip hallucinations, were a serious slog. Most of the book is written in the second person, which is mostly fine, but made those last 30 pages even tougher. Still, Karr is a beautiful writer, and I'm looking forward to finally getting to Lit.
