I think that my intense dislike of “Lucy and Linh� may be a case of it being “it’s not you, it’s me.� For that reason I bumped up the stars from two to three.

I really did want to like the book. The story of a poor immigrant trying to assimilate in a private school full of spoiled rich girls seemed interesting. Not to mention, a diverse book! It seemed so full of promise. In reality, I found myself with an almost immediate dislike of Lucy that only increased as I kept reading. It didn’t help that the plot seemed to move at a crawl.

I’m going to stop there because I believe some readers may really enjoy “Lucy and Linh,� and I don’t want to discourage anyone who reads the description and wants to give it a try from picking it up. In short: Your Mileage May Vary.

This unbiased review is based upon a complimentary copy provided by the publisher.
