Book 78: Lucky by Jane Smiley

 I just finished Lucky and I give it 📙📙 1/2.

The only reason I kept reading this book is because it was set in my hometown (St. Louis), very very close to the neighborhood where I grew up. This is a fake memoir of a not-successful folk singer who made a lot of money through a few lucky breaks and then just....doesn't do a lot. She engages with her family, she sleeps with lots and lots of guys, she writes really bad lyrics.    NOTHING. HAPPENS. There's a weird twist at the end which made little sense. If you didn't go to high school with me, you probably don't need to read this book.
