Released from Hawthorne Books, one of the more top notch among strong indie publishers, Monica Drake’s CLOWNGIRL is a fun, easy to read, and also intricately crafted story of a woman who works as a clown for kid’s parties (and slightly racier side projects) and whose life is in the middle of a tailspin. Recently having been left behind by an ex also clown who she thinks soon to return, and seemingly unable to keep her life straight, CLOWNGIRL goes on a bizarre little vision quest in her neighborhood trying to keep her head in the game.

Overall, a read you won’t be able to quit with before you make it to the end. Some books are work, but CLOWNGIRL is entirely pleasure, pieced with artifice and unique style.
