Erin reviewed Island City by Laura Adamczyk
Review of 'Island City' on 'Goodreads'
The artifice/device of the narrator telling the bar (us) her story as a monologue doesn’t quite work for me here. Her register varies too much (sounding very casual and then suddenly using words like “bemused”) and she gets too poetic. Someone in conversation isn’t going to sound like that, so it threw me off.
