American Rose

Won through Goodreads.

Well, my phone ate my review, so let's try again.

I didn't really care for this. I really enjoyed Abbott's first book, so I had high hopes. I didn't connect with the story or any of the people. Everyone was awful and I'm not really sure why I should care about any of them; sometimes those people can still be interesting, but I did not feel that was the case here. The jumping time periods and people just added to the confusion. I want to read a straightforward biography again; so many seem to be written disjointed lately. I didn't hate this book, I just didn't enjoy it. It's probably good I know next to nothing about Gypsy and have never seen the musical, judging from other people's reviews.
