A review by elizadin
Human Blues by Elisa Albert

4.0

I wanted to start this review with the phrase “a lot can happen in nine months,” but Aviva would think that was hackneyed and dismiss me with a sneer. But a lot does happen in the novel’s nine month trip—just not the baby that almost famous singer-songwriter Aviva Rosner desperately wants. And while conception (just not IVF, which she’s very vocally opposed to) tries to take center stage in this story, Aviva’s career, religion, marriage, and obsession with Amy Winehouse are also along for the ride (and it’s a wild ride)!
