The Book of Dahlia: A Novel



by Elisa Albert

Dahlia Finger is twenty-nine years old and living in Venice Beach, trying to get her life together when she is suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumor. This book has received many starred reviews and some good press, and I really wanted to like it. But I found Dahlia's character mostly whiney and self-absorbed. I couldn't get into the "stream of conscious" writing style either.
