Review Copy Provided By AuthorI'll admit that the quirky-ness of the cover is what drew me to this book when I saw it posted in my Goodreads group. And then reading the quote about the one thing in life you need is a good hairdresser (which I am of course paraphrasing) - I really wanted to read it. However, while I enjoyed it, I think I was a bit disappointed with how it played out. I was really hoping for more interaction with customers, being the keeper of secrets and the dispenser of advice - like many of hair dressers I know, however, it turned out to be more of a coming of age type story with Zora finding herself and her place in the world. I will admit that as a character I found Zora very uninspiring, she just didn't do anything for me - I thought for a 19 year old that she was rather naive, especially since it was portrayed that her life hadn't been all that easy prior to the start of the book...I'm not saying the book was bad, it just wasn't quite what I expected - which is why I ultimately gave it 3 stars. But i am interested to see what the author writes in the future, because she will def. be an author to watch.
