Not a light read

Miracle Girl isn’t a cosy romance and I am starting to doubt, whether it is actually possible to write one with the setting being the corporate world. It is not a bad book, mind you, but there is much pain, that is all too close to the real world to feel comfortable with.

TB’s writing is excellent, the characters are well defined and the story is almost too real, yet not even the love scenes can help over the sad life choices of the lead character due to her insecurity. Nothing unusual, especially if you’re young and strive to succeed in a cut-throat corporate business.

Of course it doesn’t help, that I had to watch people I liked break over the same issues as JJ and in the same fashion, only forty years ago now and in the music industry. So, even though it is a really good book, I was not able to enjoy it. But that should not keep you from reading it, but be prepared to shed some tears over JJ’s story.
