Title: Wordy and overly dramatic
Review: As a first novel, I applaud the writer. I found it difficult to understand the character's choice at the end, it seemed obscure and self-hating. Janet Fitch's descriptions are over labored, don't flow from the heart, most of her descriptions seem to be heady...I don't think the writer was involved with her main character, Astrid. Good descriptions of Los Angeles...metaphors were overused and narrative did not get to the point...
