A review by retiredlibrarylady
Now a Major Motion Picture by Cori McCarthy

4.0

This book has a really slow start and many unbelievable elements. HOWEVER, as the story unfolds, it grabs the reader and won't let go. Lots of information about the film industry is interspersed with a story about a dysfunctional family. Once into it, it becomes difficult to stop reading. The reader is rooting for Cate, the director, to make it work, and for Iris to find her way to make peace in her family. The feminism gets overwhelming at times, but the story wins out. A lot of kissing and wanting, but nothing too graphic. Still, probably more appropriate for high school than middle.
