A review by mmgroberg
House Lights by Leah Hager Cohen

3.0

I found the premise and the plot of this book very interesting, but was totally bored and unconvinced by the narrator, both her character and her voice. I thought it was over-written in a way that didn't feel like the authentic first person voice of a 19-year-old girl. Because of this I feel like I never really got a good feel for the narrator/protagonist as a person. Also, as a matter of personal preference, I found the "epilogue" (I can't remember whether it's labeled as such, but that's how it functions) trite and unnecessary. Overall, harmless and fairly absorbing, but not my cup of tea.
