A review by vernnie
A Very Nice Girl by Imogen Crimp
4.0
Yes it's another story about a young woman and an old and rich man. However, I think the author has given much nuance to the characters. Like Anna was not a saint and we also have a glipse to other parts of Max's life and emotions. They were not exactly "nice" people but I do care about them.
Also like the author's writing (although the no quotation mark style is really not my thing). The parts about Anna preparing for shows and performing on stage are just so smooth and beautiful, especially the first performance (chef's kiss). Really fell in love with the book after that.
Only complaint is the last few chapters. The arrangement and pacing feel a bit off. Like the ending though. Did not see it coming but also not surprised at all.

I lay there, thinking, you build one person up to be the person who can give your life colour and meaning, the person who can save you, but they can’t do that, no one can do that.
