3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Los Angeles, California: Clem Jasper is a trust fund kid with a world famous rock musician for a father. When he dies suddenly (playing ping pong) she discovers hes left her a strange legacya series of letters that take her on a mysterious road trip around California. Ignoring her aunts suggestion that she pitch the trip as a reality show, she embarks on her ownto discover just what it was that her father meant her to find. What secret could be so powerful that he had to die before telling her? With a voice reminiscent of Rainbow Rowell, Duttons Driftwood is a surprising, poignant, and funny debut. Dutton perfectly captures the mythology of California with this bright and unusual take on the freedom of the open road, the power of music, and what it means, even in the midst of grief, to be a family. Fans of The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Run River and Killing Yourself to Live will find much to savor here.

12-4-22: My 121st finished book of 2022! This was a soft story about finding out who you are. Clementine Jasper seemingly has it all. Living in LA, daughter to a major recording artist, Clem doesn‘t know what she wants to do with her life. When her famous father passes away suddenly, Clem is left with a series of letters that take her on a journey through California to learn about her Dad‘s life and find herself in the process.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#️⃣1️⃣2️⃣1️⃣

swishandflick I'm ashamed to admit that I looked at this, thought "wait, I didn't know Beth Dutton had written a book" before embarrassingly remembering that the Beth Dutton in my head was the FICTIONAL character from Yellowstone ? 1y

Clem Jasper is the daughter of a (fictional) 70s rock band singer. Her family is close, but there are always secrets, so when her father leaves her letters that take her on a road trip around CA, she learns more about him and herself.

Cool concept, right? The letters were a bit strange, even for a hippie singer, and I could never really get a sense of Clem and her motivations. However, it was great brain candy. 3⭐️
