If Clementine, the lovable protagonist of Losing Clementine were to describe herself, she would likely string together some self-complimentary words laced with profanities (such as "f***ing hilarious"), but would also be sure to note that she was suicidal as well. The plot sounds exceptionally grim: it follows the preparations of artist Clementine Pritchard for her suicide. She has decided that she has exhausted every other option and is ready to check out early, so she begins work on her final piece of artwork and gives herself 30 days to take care of all that would need taking care of.
Losing Clementine is fast-paced, witty, entertaining and humbling and includes elements of humanity alongside the plethora of humor. The reader gets to be right in the middle of all of Clementine's thoughts and form a connection with her which makes her terribly missed after the back cover closes.
Sure, it may not be the next great American classic novel. But it is perfect for a quick and enjoyable literary experience.
