A review by suzzeb22
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by Rebecca Miller

3.0

I picked up this book partly because I found it interesting when I first heard of it and partly because they are making it into a movie and I wanted to read it first. I wasn't super enthused about Rebecca Miller's writing for the first part of the novel and also found the ending wrapped up a little abruptly but I found the middle chapters when the main character, Pippa, flashes back to her upbringing and her sordid past is when the story really takes off. Maybe more of that would've propelled it a little higher in my estimation. All in all a solid book. I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone but I enjoyed it. Seems like a bad choice to make a movie with though.
