Karen Watson 's Reviews > The Uptown Local: Joy, Death, and Joan Didion: A Memoir

In a way, I related to Cory while reading this, due to the fact that I felt awkwardly out of place. The names and places were all very unfamiliar to me, which made it hard for me to connect. However, I always find it interesting looking into someone else's life as they voluntarily share their innermost secrets. Cory has experienced many things that I never have or never will. I'm both thankful and envious of that fact.

I won this book on a Goodreads Giveaway.
