Bliss by Danyel Smith

Bliss by Danyel Smith is a head scratcher. I tried with all my might to finish to the last page, even the last chapter, but only made it as far as Chapter 10. I understand that Smith wants to “write with music” and the book is based on Eva Glenn, a powerful, fierce record executive who may or may not be pregnant with the father unknown, but with every other line quoting music, I just could not follow the plot. The characters, aside from Eva, were not powerful. Not one stood out to me, and I had to constantly go back and try to re-read about the supporting characters in order for me to understand what was happening. And I still couldn’t quite grasp the story. The more I read, the more confused I would become.
