A review by lovesfromlindsey
Pure Hollywood: And Other Stories by Christine Schutt
3.0
*I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a review*
I really wanted to like this book because I was so intrigued by the title and blurb, but I had the hardest time staying interested in the separate "snapshots" of each character's life. I think the individual stories were well written and interesting to a certain extent, but I was thrown off by how disconnected the novel felt as a whole. I do recommend this book however if you are someone who likes your fiction a little darker and can read without needing the entire cast of characters to connect.
