Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley
3.0
While reading this book, I had to keep reminding myself the author is only seventeen and this is her debut! That fact alone propelled me to finally finish the book.
I enjoyed the story, once it finally got rolling, however the writing style was evident of not a fluid seasoned writer. I found I needed to skip pages ahead, the prose was a bit too lyrical for me and left me feeling disconnected.
I do believe this book is only the first draft to a brilliant literary author of our future.
Many thanks to Knopf and NetGalley for the gifted copy.
