A review by writerrhiannon
Costalegre by Courtney Maum
5.0
**I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
I devoured Costalegre by Courtney Maum in just a couple hours and while it was a quick read it will stay with me forever. The 15-year-old narrator was naive and pining for the knowledge of the artists who surround her and the love of her mother. Written in diary form (I love that!) this book will have you remembering what it was like to be 15 (in the best and worst ways). Going into this book I did not know that this story is based on the real-life relationship between heiress Peggy Guggenheim and her daughter, Pegeen, but now I will be on the lookout for anytime the Guggenheim name pops up again.
