cdivish 's review for:
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
by Abbi Waxman
Has some laugh out loud moments and subverts some romantic tropes in a really good way.
The third person sort-of omniscient POV was distracting. I’m out of practice reading this style, because it’s not common anymore. For the most part, it was handled subtly, but I did notice an occasional feeling of head-hopping, which is what made me notice POV more than I normally do.
The whimsical writing style reminded me of Pushing Daisies, which had a distinctive narrator element, so I think the POV choices were aiming for that. But it didn’t quite work the same way here.
