Favorite Daughter: A Novel by Morgan Dick
4.0
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC. I loved how this started and that’s saying a lot because usually these ARCs have such terrible formatting and are riddled with distracting first proof errors that the quality of the writing can get swallowed up. But I loved Morgan Dick’s voice immediately.
However once we got knee deep into the addiction part I didn’t love it so much and it started to feel like every other book about addiction and lost some of the good attributes like the snappy dialogue and way certain conversations and actions flowed into each other.
Then grief strikes and we see two sisters mourn in different ways and it felt way too convenient that they go by silly nicknames so can’t figure out their relationship.
Like The Outrun I’m quite bored of reading books about drinking but that’s me. Still giving this a four though because of the strong start.
