A review by theamandalorianreads
Astrid Sees All by Natalie Standiford

3.0

a good, quick read. set in an nyc that largely doesn't exist anymore which is clearly a good thing, but one that i almost wish i could go back and see, for the sheer affordability of such a great city. the characters standiford introduces are decent, but they lack a certain something, almost as if they needed to be punched up a notch but there was not time or desire to. i expected phoebe's betrayal of carmen to be much meatier and i suppose, if i stretch the imagination, i can understand why it meant so much to carmen, but at face value it fell a little flat. an easy, breezy read for the summer.
