#ForeverNovember Day 13: This bird has no #Fear.

I have to admit after I read this I had to think about it. It‘s a good debut, I liked the main, flawed character, Ezra. There is a a lot of depth to this novel. The ending was a great fitting for the rest of the novel. I could see why some would find it a bit odd but for some reason after hind sight I found some rather well hidden life lessons!

I should have backed out at "California Noir" but I read it anyway. I would've preferred less angst, more story, a different ending, and, well, a different book tbh.

This is a gem! Aging starlet seduces groundskeeper whose mother was a cult leader. Producer-husband finds out and trouble ensues. Trite little plot? Absolutely not. This is a nuanced and poignant look at fame, wealth, poverty, beauty, betrayal, and redemption. A book to savor, beautifully written passages! Out in Feb. Thanks to NetGalley. Oh, and the hummingbird is a cool little symbol to enjoy!
