Astrid Sees All by Natalie Standiford
3.0
This is a long anthem to the partying of the 80s, to drugs, to friends, to New York.
Phoebe and her friend Carmen go to live in New York. They are soon caught up in the drug and party scene. Phoebe has this thing she does where she saves every movie ticket stub and uses them to "tell the future" or her interpretation of it. She gets a job in a club telling people's fourtunes and starts calling herself Astrid. At some point, Carmen how missing and all Phoebe wants is to find her again.
I thought this was a very slow moving novel. There is no action. I took a long time to get through it. It's more of a character study than anything i think.
