Pioneer Girl by Bich Minh Nguyen
3.0
Thanks to Netgalley and Viking Adult for early access to this title.
3 1/2 stars - I really enjoyed the writing style of this author! I had to check at one point, since I was sure she was writing her autobiography or memoirs. Its very well done as far as the realism of the situation. She writes about very real people, and their complicated relationships. I also very much enjoyed how she wove the story of Rose Wilder Lane and her mother, Laura Ingalls Wilder, into the plot. I also very much enjoyed the academic angle, and could relate to how she felt leaving graduate school. My only real negative was the ending - it felt unresolved. But then again, so is life, and this book portrays real life in a very accurate way. Recommended!
