Clementine Pritchard has done what so many people could
never bare doing, faced her life and thrown up her hands in
defeat. In the thirty days she has left, Clementine has
resolved to make the most of it, she will do all of her
favorite things and eat her favorite foods...after all, she
doesn't have time to get fat! Nothing and no one alters
Clementine from her pre-determined course.
Clementine's character is phenomenal. She is the epitome
of someone who just doesn't care anymore. Her happy-go-
lucky personality contrasts starkly with one you might
expect of
someone contemplating her own death in thirty days. She is
outgoing, amusing, and matter-of-fact. I made an instant
connection to Clementine and liked her
easily. The other characters are important as they affect
Clementine's ultimate fate so deeply and I enjoyed getting
to know them all.
Despite the potential ending, the events in LOSING
CLEMENTINE are fast-paced and the twists will force you to
continue reading avidly. The background behind Clementine's
story is revealed slowly but Ream does a wonderful job
holding a reader's attention. LOSING CLEMENTINE is one book
you won't want to miss.
A fresh, fun, totally addictive debut—by turns hilarious and
tragic—by a gifted new writer, Losing Clementine follows a
famous artist as she attempts to get her messy affairs in
order en route to her eventual planned suicide a month later.
First time author Ashley Ream takes a usually macabre
subject and makes it accessible, relatable, and funny, and,
in Clementine, has created one of the most endearing and
unforgettable characters in recent fiction.
