The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
by Abbi Waxman
Humorous, with a fairly unique side-story. Main character was pretty dang relatable. But, I think I've decided that I'm just not super into modern realistic fiction as much as I thought. There were more pop-culture references than book references, there was unnecessary cursing, and it just didn't grip me. The author did a good job "world building" and making Los Angeles seem like a part of the story, but I just don't like cities or busy modern lifestyles enough to be enthralled by their depiction in a book. Bring me some 1820s Prairie America, Victorian-Era England, or a Fairy Forest instead, please.
