Rainey Royal by Dylan Landis

4.0

Rainey Royal is the beautiful, provocative teenage daughter of a jazz musician in 1970s Greenwich Village. Although she is glamorous and charismatic on the outside, she has some serious demons to battle: the myriad young “acolytes” shacking up with her father, the inappropriate night-time visits of his best friend, and the various struggles of growing up in a broken world. I really enjoyed this novel in stories, which follows Rainey into adulthood as she grows up, deals with her hidden vulnerability, and tries to nurture her artistic soul.
