A review by rmarcin
Spin by Catherine McKenzie
3.0
Kate is a mess. She dreams of being a writer, and has landed an interview for her dream job. But prior to her interview, she gets so drunk the night before that she is still drunk at her interview. Obviously, things don’t go well. Yet, she is given another chance, if she writes a gossip column about a star in rehab. This means she also has to go to rehab, and ends up finding out a lot about herself.
I don’t enjoy books where the protagonist is a drunk, although Kate does eventually get clean. So that likely skewed my opinion of the book. I did enjoy that Kate had to go through low points before things got better. This is McKenzie’s debut novel, and I have read many of her other books, and have enjoyed them.
