Ruby Spencer's Whisky Year by Rochelle Bilow

3.0

---

This book had so much promise but it was lacking in the execution. The writing style was a bit odd - i.e. the chapter would start with a sentence telling you what happened and then go into great detail to describe it. It was sort of like the the author's first sentence was the TLDR and then she went ahead an said everything else. The end of the book was rushed. Finally, Ruby was an unreliable narrator and there were odd little asides that felt self referential. It was fine but I would not recommend it.


2.5 stars
