Book Rating
The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl had a lot going for it: Well written with a vivid narrative, interesting setting, and a good cast of characters. I enjoyed the way in which true-to-life detailing and characterisations were embellished with a measure of weirdness, and I liked the take on the fear-of-change dilemma.

BUT...

I wasn't anywhere near as taken by this as I was by Life in Outer Space. There was just this frustratingly indefinable, yet very blatant...lack. I never felt fully caught up in this, the ending really didn't wow me, and it somehow seemed a lot longer than it was.

"I have had Patti Smith's 'Just Kids' on my bedside forever. [Vogue US] She describes a recent turning point when she read Just Kids, Patti Smith’s 2010 memoir, in which she writes of discovering that her true calling lay in “three chords merged with the power of the word.” Smith’s willingness to embrace the highs and lows of a creative life touched something in Emma. “I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti,” she says. “The book was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it, and I felt more hopeful."
