A review by danadoesbooks
American Mermaid by Julia Langbein

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

Thank you Double Day and NetGalley for the ARC of American Mermaid.  All opinions in this review are my own.

A burnt out teacher writes the next best-selling book and moves to LA to make it into a movie. The movie executives want to make significant changes to the book which the author doesn't agree with. She also complains a lot about how expensive things are even though she admits to having money now.

I read 50 pages and I am stopping. I just don't think this writing style is for me and reading about how the movie version of the book is going to make drastic changes is painful. I think I would have rather read the book that the main character wrote than the main character's experience.
