I didn't bother finishing with Luckiest Girl Alive, all the character did was whine and boast about how better she is than everybody and clamoring to want to forget her past.

I didn't find Rachel likeable, but I liked how much I didn't like her, if that makes sense. As a character I loved her - like you said, it handles alcoholism very well, and her development is visual and realistic - however I didn't feel any sympathy for her, personally. But I liked that.

The Martian is on my to-read list too since the movie was a big favorite of mine last year. The Price of Salt was a bore to me too. :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.com
