   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  pinklady60 | Sep 14, 2020 |    Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .She whines and criticizes her mother. She comes off as a bit of a demanding diva BUT... her mother works many hours care-giving, cooking for, and nurturing some of the neighborhood children. This greatly reduces much-needed maternal time for Rowan. Despite Rowan's obvious jealousy, Mother misguidedly doesn't feel the need to change or modify her work schedule. I believe it is this that causes major problems for Rowan in the future. Good but sad read; a bit disappointing. Bookish59 | Jul 12, 2020 |  ) brangwinn | Jul 12, 2020 | Rowan has a really odd relationship with her adopted mother, and I was never sure if the mother was horrible or if Rowan was unreasonable - this relationship wasn't explored quite enough for me. But when Rowan finally leaves home, she ends up in a horribly abusive relationship, and when she drops out of college she has a series of unpleasant encounters with men she meets online. Like Pizza Girl, Rowan was a frustrating character for me and I couldn;t quite understand what her motivation was and why she seemed to hate her mother so much. The book also jumps about quite a lot and major events are brushed over really quickly. I felt it needed a bit more depth, and the ending felt really rushed. A very quick read but slightly unsatisfying. ( ) AHouseOfBooks | Jul 7, 2020 | Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .Though being semi-autobiographical gives it more compelling, I can't say that the book resonated with me as much as I might have hoped. The unexpected, 180° ending threw me and felt incongruous, or at least a bit too pat, when compared with the rest of the story. I did come away wondering if the author is OK?! I received this ARC via LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. (  ) ryner | Jun 30, 2020 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"Rowan Kelly knows she's lucky. After all, if she hadn't been adopted, she could have spent her days in a rice paddy, or a windowless warehouse assembling iPhones - they make iPhones in Korea, right? Either way, slowly dying of boredom on Long Island is surely better than the alternative. But as she matures, she realizes that she'll never know if she has her mother's eyes, or if she'd be in America at all had her adoptive parents been able to conceive. Rowan sets out to prove that she can be someone's first choice. After running away from home - and her parents' rules - and ending up beaten, barefoot, and topless on a Pennsylvania street courtesy of Bad Boy Number One, Rowan attaches herself to Never-Going-to-Commit. When that doesn't work out, she fully abandons self-respect and begins browsing Craigslist personals. But as Rowan dives deeper into the world of casual encounters with strangers, she discovers what she's really looking for."--Provided by publisher. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

This book begins as a rather humorous young adult book, but gradually deals with emotional and complex issues of self-esteem. To make the story flow a little more smoothly, I would have appreciated a more in-depth look at the relationship between Rowan and her mother. (
