Another hard one to review...
I love her writing. It is poetic, yet not purple, easy to read, and interesting. I love her descriptions of the places, I get the feeling she truly loves New Orleans. But - it's such drivel. In certain parts, it feels like she's just writing down her own thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and I disagree with her strongly, so it feels like listening to some “idiot” yap about their stupid thoughts without the ability to inject my POV into the issue. I feel preached on.
And... the characters don't catch me. I really am not interested in these people or what happens to them.

So, I DNFd this. Maybe I'll finish it one day. Maybe not. There are plenty of good books to read.
I read about 250 pages, so I think I have a good enough idea of what this book is and what I think about it.
