A review by kingaphrodite
American Girls by Alison Umminger

4.0

I heard lots of excellent reviews of this story and was excited to read this, despite the more average rating. It wasn't as life inspiring or deep as I expected, but that's not to say it wasn't deep at all. Probably something that has to do with the fact that I couldn't relate to Anna at all. We all experience significant change, but while other authors manage to create a crazy family and still have that underlying connection with the audience, I don't think Umminger managed to do that quite as well.
However, I do love how she managed to create this atmosphere of LA and the idea of everyone being a caricature of themselves.
