Sister Stardust by Jane Green

adventurous funny inspiring lighthearted mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Despite the fact it was much different than I was expecting (the book jacket makes it seem like it is told from Talitha Getty's POV), this book has good meat. I love a good friendship ensemble/coming of age story, and this had plenty of glitz and glamor and adventure to keep me hooked. If you liked The Great Gatsby, Daisy Jones and the Six, A Sky Painted Gold, or City of Girls, you'll like this a lot. 

My two (small) gripes: the way the book is formatted/bookended by Claire retelling the story to her daughter and inspiring her to "live life" was trite and cheap compared to the richness of the rest. I also don't think the recipes added anything, and there weren't enough of them to not feel randomly placed. However these issues took up minimal page space so I could easily ignore them.
