Rainey Royal by Dylan Landis
5.0
As Rainey Royal is Landis's first full-length novel, I expected the writing style to be unpolished and lacking focus. My expectations were off-base entirely.
Landis writes with passion and power of the life of Rainey Royal and all those who touch it. With an absentee mother living on an ashram in Colorado, a philandering musician father working his way through the wave of twenty-something women who show up at his door, two very different and very lost best friends, and one "family friend" whose relationship will forever mar the way Rainey sees men, Landis portrays the best and worst of relationships. In addition to these beautifully developed characters, Landis uses languages that pushes and rips. Gritty, intense, and laid-bare, the story of Rainey made me hurt, cry, and empathize with characters in a way few books do.
