Title: Should have written a memoir instead
Product review: As a writer, I know all about authors using isolated events or aspects of their lives fictitiously in novels. But Amy Sohn's Run Catch Kiss has missed the mark between fiction and memoir. It becomes certain that she took events straight out of her life and put them in the contents of this book -- or rather, wrote an autobiography disguised as a novel, period.The novel itself is trite and insubstantial. But what I could expect from a story about a wannabe-actress-turned-sex columnist? I don't think that a heroine who writes about her sexual escapades in a newspaper column is my kind of read. I borrowed this book from a friend. I now wish I hadn't.
