BRIGHT BURNING THINGS by Lisa Harding

I think I read about this novel in The New York Times. Sounded mildly interesting: about an alcoholic actress. When I picked it up at the library, I saw that it's part of Jenna Bush's book club, which was a huge turnoff because I'm not a fan of her war criminal father.

While reading Bright Burning Things, I recalled the Danish film Applause and Nancy Tucker's debut novel, The First Day of Spring, which I'll buy when it comes out in paperback — looking forward to rereading it one day.

I returned Bright Burning Things after reading 50 pages.
