I think everyone reading her work knew it, which backfires for the writer in this situation. But since the class is now long over, I can say this: Anna was clearly the best writer there. Still, every agent is always on the lookout for greatness.Īs the teacher, I couldn’t play favorites. I knew some students hoped I would read their work and whisk them off to published author land, but I was there to teach, not fish for clients. There, we workshopped 10 pages of a novel in progress a week, had an hour of chat and some open-season Q&A sessions with a real live literary agent (me). She was living in Russia then, due to her husband’s profession, but I didn’t know that at first. I met Anna in 2012 in a class I was teaching online through Mediabistro. And I want to tell you a little about how it came to be. And that's what makes me sad about this book.WHERE YOU END by Anna Pellicioli is out in the world today.
I wanted the possible thing with Elliott to happen, I wanted Adam's thing to be more prominent - but it wasn't. Not that she doesn't complete arcs - but that's how I felt. Almost like she gripped me with one plot line, to decide not to complete that arc. But I felt unsatisfied by what had happened. Pellicioli did grip me, I wasn't able to put the book down. But I wanted to know what was going to happen with Adam, I want to know that she's for sure over Elliott. And I know that life isn't full of closures, and that was what Pellicioli was getting at when writing this book. But I felt very disheartened I wanted more closure. Not to say it didn't end well, it ended how it should've. Apparently I wanted a happy ending for Miriam. And honestly I'm surprised that I'm so upset by this ending. I've been waiting to write this review for a little bit because I haven't been able to find words to explain how I feel about this book.and I'm not sure I ever will be able to. When Paloma shows up after Miriam's incident with Picasso she isn't quite sure how to take this turn of events. Now that Elliott won't even look at her, and Adam is seeing her differently things are starting to get mixed up. She's not sure what is missing, or if anything is missing at all. After having everything she didn't know she wanted and then losing it, she isn't sure how to handle her life. Miriam is a teenage girl who has to learn how to get her life back on track.
