When a personal photo turns up in the private collection of a convicted pedophile, Ryan Flannigan is sent back in time to her life in the 1970s. Ryan and her mother, Fiona, move from their summer theatre enclave, to a West Village apt complex where Fiona‘s dreams of fame are transferred to Ryan. This book is well written, evocative of a time and place, and examines the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters. 4⭐️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
T. Greenwood never disappoints...she's one of my authors that I just buy the book without even reading the back! This is such a raw telling of a girl actress and a photo taken of her from 1977. And the story also takes place in 2019. So good!!
Yowza, this book is EXCELLENT. So many layers, lush descriptions of 1970s NYC, and a very complicated mother/daughter relationship. When a controversial photograph, personally signed with an inscription from her own mom, is found in an apartment raid of a very Epstein-esque predator, painful memories are brought back to the surface, a new light is shone on Ryan's experience as a budding childhood actress, and she finally sees her mother clearly.
A little hot tea and reading before bed, and this sentence almost made me choke I chuckled so hard given that after living in NYC for 9 years, I have (on multiple occasions) walked the High Line and witnessed this actually happening in the windows of The Standard 😳
I'm excited about this win, this book sounds right up my alley! 👏🏽
