onesmartcupcake 's review for:
Where the Stars Still Shine
by Trish Doller
Really strong realistic fiction! Raw & achingly real as it deals with important, incredibly relevant issues including mental illness, neglect, trauma (of various kinds that I don't want to spoil here) and the ways that such issues can affect sexuality, familial relationship, self-image, and healing. Especially great in its honest & sensitive portrayal of female sexuality and complex child-parent relationships.
The protagonist's voice is strong--simultaneously vulnerable and tough and never whiny or melodramatic. The setting is rich and unusual (a coastal Florida town with a high American Greek population) and the supporting characters interesting and individualized.
More complete review to come! But definitely put this September release on your watch list!
