A review by rebekahcraft
Pioneer Girl by Bich Minh Nguyen

1.0

I picked up this book because I am a fan of Nguyen's memoir, Stealing Buddha's Dinner, and grew up obsessed with Laura Ingalls Wilder. This book was disappointing on so many levels. The characters were one dimensional and did not go through any transformation or learn from their mistakes. I kept listening and waiting for something to happen or for the plot to improve and was sorely disappointed. To top it off, the book ended with my least favorite wrap-up move of all time: a flash forward when everything is tied up into one neat little package.
