Review - Losing Clementine by Ashley Ream

ABOUT THE BOOK:

In thirty days Clementine Pritchard will be finished with her last painting and her life.

World-renowned artist and sharp-tongued wit Clementine Pritchard has decided that she's done. After flushing away a medicine cabinet full of prescriptions, she gives herself thirty days to tie up loose ends—finish one last painting, make nice with her ex-husband, and find a home for her cat. Clementine plans to spend the month she has left in a swirl of art-world parties, manic work sessions, and outrageous acts—but what she doesn't expect is to uncover secrets surrounding the tragedy that befell her mother and sister. In an ending no one sees coming, will we lose Clementine or will we find her?

A bold debut from an exciting new voice, Losing Clementine is a wonderfully entertaining and poignant novel about unanticipated self-discovery that features one of the most irresistible, if deeply flawed, characters to grace contemporary fiction in years.

MY THOUGHTS:

This book is amazing! While reading it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the wildly entertaining voice of Ashley Ream. Clementine is an unforgettable character with lots of personality. Although she has a timeline set and is planning to end it all by taking her own life, she has an undeniable spunk about her. I thought that there would be some depressing parts but it was really comical. I adored reading Losing Clementine and can't wait to see what Ashley publishes next!
