The Book of Dahlia by Elisa Albert

1.0

This book blows. Seriously. Dahlia is an over-privileged 29-year-old who hates her life. Convenient because she's got a brain tumor and she's dying. So she sits around and reflects on her shitty life--pretty much what she's been doing for years already. She follows a guide to cancer, arguing in her head with the author along the way. I don't like the character. There's nothing to like about the character. She's self-absorbed, full of pity for herself and blocks everyone else out (which, is kind of fair because they're all assholes too; except for her dad). I am regretting the time I spent reading this book--I want it back and the only thing I learned from this book is that I should have quit 10 pages in to it. Life's too short for crappy books.
