pickThis was outrageously hilarious but also pretty disturbing. A character study of a young woman who‘s had a break with reality and uses Robert Louis Stevenson‘s “Treasure Island” as a guidebook for her life which has gone off the rails. There‘s even a parrot. She‘s terrible to her parents, but especially awful to her sister, who all try to help her. I don‘t know what the lesson is here but I do know I enjoyed the ride. #BlameItOnTheKidUpstairs
TheBookgeekFrau This sounds similar to Chris Bohjalian's The Double Bind, except it was The Great Gatsby instead of Treasure Island. 1y
Ruthiella I just read this too due to @TheKidUpstairs ! 😂 At first the protagonist so awful, I didn‘t get the humor but eventually I enjoyed it. 1y
TheKidUpstairs 🤣🤣🤣 I love your hashtag and your review. I kind of loved that there wasn't really a lesson learned, it was just an over the top portrait of a completely self absorbed woman. She didn't really learn and grow, and that was part of the enjoyment for me. 1y
