Ramona's Reviews > Negative Space

I am a huge fan of memoirs, and this one really looked interesting me. Lilly’s father died when she was just a child, and she investigates his life and pieces what she finds out together with the art he left behind.

I liked the descriptions of his art, his thoughts behind it, and her appreciation for it. I thought her life was interesting but ultimately the timeline and pacing really slowed me down. Many of the time jumps started to feel repetitive- as one thing worked out in present day and then we jump back to before it, it started to be a bit sluggish.

Lilly had some beautiful writing and I enjoyed that. I think for me it was just the flow and overall story that held me back. I mean reflecting on addiction and infidelity over and over again can feel bleak. A bit repetitive but still good.
3.5 stars
