Acampora is a new author to me. Her blurb hooked me and I could not wait to read this story about a woman navigating herself through a mild obsession with a childhood friend, an actress living in Los Angeles.
While this story offers good prose, often vivid in nature and demonstrating struggles the main character deals with daily, from family strife to career goals that may pass by her and its cover art mesmerized me, I cannot say this story connected with me. None of the characters, including the main character, did not hook me.
Beautiful story. Beautiful artwork. But, Acampora somehow dropped the ball when making sure these two aspects came together to garner characters that readers may not necessarily adore but want to connect to on, at least, a shallow basis.
