Sean Hayes is driving a lime green dune buggy that a friend of hers traded from Elvis Presley for angel dust. A major motion picture is about to be released with Sean's accidentally naked breasts in it and she has just watched her best girlfriend shoot heroin, while Keith Richards nodded on the couch. Sean parks the dune buggy on Coldwater Canyon, walks down the hill, and lights a joint to calm down. There she finds a pile of black clothes, wet with blood. The Tate murders? It is 1969 and things are starting to get really icky.
Meanwhile, Sean's first boyfriend has taken off to Mexico and she has no idea exactly where he is. But a girl has to follow her heart. Sean leaves Beverly Hills determined to find her lover, even if it means joining a traveling circus and getting lost in a world of drum rolls and lions and Mayan glyphs. Even it means having knives thrown at her for a living, and facing a loaded machine gun in the hands of her rival. Somehow, she will find Frank, even if means going deep into the jungle, just in time to view a total eclipse, on the back of her favorite elephant.
My thoughts
It is 1969 and Sean Hayes falls in love with Frank. Frank doesn’t want commitment and takes off for Mexico. Sean decides to follow him and during her search for Frank she joins the circus. This makes it easy to travel and try and find him. Sean’s adventures are more exciting than her relationship with Frank (who is a jerk, by the way). Circus life has Sean growing up and experiencing life as no other. Like others, I was intrigued by the title, but Diane Sherry Case writes a extraordinary coming-of-age story.
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the author. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
