Obviously

Morgan Thomas

I can begin by saying that if I hadn't received a copy of this at a book event I wouldn't have picked it up. The author was unknown to me, so maybe that's why the book didn't seem to land for me. But that can't be the only reason. While the stories may be interesting to fans, I found nothing about this woman's life especially appealing. The book was readable, but I was moved by very little, and the interesting things that could have been expanded in regards to her life were lacking. They were written about in vague open ended prose, that felt she was recounting a story for the eighth time. Truthfully there wasn't a lot worth reading and this seem to bring nothing to the essay/memoir genre.
