The Last Book Party by Karen Dukess
3.0
Let me start off by saying that the writing of this book was so beautiful. I was captivated by the description that the author gave throughout the whole book. However, something was lacking for me.
This is a story of a mid twentys girl who spends her summer working as an assistant for an older New Yorker writer. She romantazises the lives of all the array people around her and basically becomes obsessed with being in their lives. So much so that she does very childish things to stay there.
The story drags for over half the book and only really becomes interesting in a few parts. I just wasn't feeling all the lies, bad behavior and narcissist personalities.
All in all, it was so so for me.
