Almost Famous Women by Megan Mayhew Bergman

3.0

"Power is a funny thing. Sometimes you can just take it." - Romaine Remains

Though maybe the overall concept was more intriguing, I didn't find this collection as strong as Bergman's debut, Birds of a Lesser Paradise. A lot of the time I just felt disconnected. The Autobiography of Allegra Byron stood out the most, but the rest of these didn't really stack up my expectations. That being said, this is a beautiful concept for storytelling and Bergman is an incredibly female-minded author which I appreciate and which will always keep me coming back to read her.
