from Kelly Hewitt’s LOADED QUESTIONS Author BlogBright Shiny Morning… adopts a cast of characters who are all at once lost, confused and struggling — grasping at creating lives for themselves in the city of Los Angeles. The novel’s online synopsis lays each of the characters out clearly: a bright, ambitious young Mexican-American woman who allows her future to be undone by a moment of searing humiliation; a supremely narcissistic action-movie star whose passion for the unattainable object of his affection nearly destroys him; a couple, both nineteen years old, who flee their suffocating hometown and struggle to survive on the fringes of the great city; and an aging Venice Beach alcoholic whose life is turned upside down when a meth-addled teenage girl shows up half-dead outside the restroom he calls home. Each with their own dramatic narrative, these characters appear and disappear from the novel’s canvas, moving in and out of the reader’s view.I found myself genuinely interested in this book, in finding out more about Frey’s style and for that reason am happy to present it as our next Loaded Questions Giveaway.
