Amy Falls Down

Book #50 Read in 2013
Amy Falls Down by Jincy Willett

Amy is a writer...well, she used to be but she hasn't written anything in years.  She is more famous for a writing group where one of the members tried to kill people.  Then she has an accident in her back yard, hitting her head on a birdbath, and when she comes to, a reporter is leaving her house and Amy has no recollection of what she had said.  The article comes out and Amy is made out to be a wonderfully eccentric talent, when in reality she had taken leave of her senses temporarily.  That article begins to bring media attention back on Amy and her former agent begins booking Amy for radio shows and speaking engagements.  Amy has no filter and takes no prisoners.

This book had a lot of humor in it.  I enjoyed the references to books and to the writing process.  However, the writing was a bit disjointed and at times the book dragged for me.  Overall though, I thought it was a good read.

I received this book from the Amazon Vine program in exchange for a review.
