I rarely interrupt one of my readings, but if I do, it's because I just can't. And... Well, I couldn't bring myself to like this book.
The idea of telling someone else's biography is interesting, I read many autobiographies in my life but none of them was so... Boring? And that's why I didn't even reach 1/3 of the book. And if you add that this book wasn't ready to be published... Gosh.
Let me explain this point, why wasn't it ready? Simple: there's no sign of a plot. The writing is so so so immature it makes me wanna cry. It feels like the author is writing a shopping list. There are so many grammatical problems that even I, a girl from Italy, notice them. I don't know why, but it feels like this book hasn't even gone through an editing part yet. So nope, this book wasn't ready to be published. It needs revisions and it needs a smarter plotting, because remember this: even if you are talking about reality, and in this case someone's life, there's always a way to make reality look interesting from a literary point of view, you just need to study a bit, write different possible plots, and maybe contemplate the idea of writing from different povs, which can make the story of a book more dynamic.
All the characters are static, and they don't feel real at all. If I had to find something positive about this book.... I'd be in trouble. There's nothing positive. From the plotting, characters to the writing style. There are flaws and lacks everywhere.
Hope this review can help the author to (re)edit her work!
