In Bloom: Side A by Adrian Harlow

1.0

I am struggling so hard with this one, it falls extremely short of the mark. According to the synopsis it should have taken me back to the 90's and the days of grunge. Nothing in this book screams 90's! I was 18-28 yrs old in the 90's, I was in the thick of great music (all of it, not just grunge), great clubs, it was the best years for living in the San Francisco Bay Area! The prime days of grunge are glaringly absent from this book. I can't even connect to any of the characters, they are insufferably boring. I am 49% through this book and I keep debating myself about abandoning the remainder. Why torture myself, but then again why deny adding another finished book to my book challenge? I think I will call it done at page 226.
Thank you to VRO and Adrian Harlow for sending a free copy. I am terribly sorry to say though that this one didn't work for me.
