Astrid Sees All by Natalie Standiford
5.0
I really enjoyed Astrid Sees All. I am not an 80s kid, I am a 90s kid, however the New York City Club Kid era is so intriguing.
Phoebe moves to New York City after college and is hanging on to her friend Carmen who is immersing herself in the arts and drug scene in the East Village. When a random Club Kid discovers that Phoebe is a fortune teller, she is invited to work for the hottest nightclub in NYC. Phoebe reinvents herself as Astrid and immerses herself in the drug-fueled nightlife.
I found Phoebe to be very relatable, yet cringe-worthy. She just wanted to be part of the it crowd and made horrible mistakes and choices along the way.
I devoured this book. Along with the Club Kid scene and cameos by Club Kids like James St. James, I appreciated the side story about random girls going missing in the area.
