Save Me Kurt Cobain eBook Jenny Manzer Reviews

At four years old, Nico’s mother went missing. Over a decade has passed, and still all her questions remain unanswered. What was she like? What happened that day she left the house? Raised by her father, a man who keeps things close to the chest, Nico, with the help of her best friend Obe, relies on her trusted Ouija board for clues.

Nico finally begins to get answers when she discovers a box of her mothers things in the attic. Turns out Nico’s passion for music, specifically early 90’s rock was something she inherited. Searching through the treasure trove of CDs, Nico comes across photographs of her mother at a Nirvana concert along with an unsent letter to Cobain himself. Is it possible her mother was more then just a fan?

The Ouija board told her something big was going to happen while visiting her Aunt in Seattle. She just never imagined it would be spotting a man who looks exactly like Kurt Cobain on the ferry ride home. Could it be him? Does he have the answers she’s been searching for? Well, there’s only one way to find out….

It seems I’m not the only one with 90’s nostalgia seeping through my veins. This is the 3rd novel I can think of in the last year which revolves around Cobain, or his persona (Leaving the Beach by Mary Rowen and Lynn Crosbie’s Where Did you Sleep Last Night) and I still never tire of it.

Manzer packs in a lot of Nirvana related tidbits, sometimes repetitively so but heart and soul of this book is her lead character Nico and her journey to find answers while dealing with the grief and loneliness left by her mothers disappearance. Very moving and certainly worth a read.

What drew me to this story, initially, was a sense of nostalgia. I was in high school and early college during grunge’s heyday and I was excited to read about a teen in 2016 who loves this music. Each chapter is named after a Nirvana song and the main character, Nico, finds comfort in the music that her mother loved. Nico’s mom disappeared when Nico was four, and even though her father rarely speaks of her, her mother’s presence weighs heavily on Nico every day. As a result of a growing desperation and sense that there must be more to her story, she follows someone she thinks might have answers and embarks on a bizarre and cathartic quest to find out why; why her mother left her and why she can’t seem to let go. I loved the way her mom’s music gave her courage and was a security blanket, in many ways. It was a touchstone that resonated throughout the story. Her life in Victoria pretty much consists of flying under the radar as much as possible. She lives a small life, without really thinking abut whether college is really a possibility or if she can ever leave her home town. Slowly, though, her drive to find answers and what seems to be a longing for a better sense of who she is, starts to shape her character into someone new. I loved that transformation. The way Nico changes really made the book something special to read.

I also loved the unexpected turns that Save Me, Kurt Cobain took. It was part emotional journey, part mystery and they were balanced so deftly that I was enchanted from beginning to end. The truth about Kurt Cobain, both real and in Nico’s mind, also resonated with her sadness about her mother and her inability to move on. In a way, his life was a sort of treasure map to Nico, and the way facts about Cobain’s life were woven into the story really made him feel like a character, as well. Save Me, Kurt Cobain was a fabulous story. I went in thinking I would be amused by the references, but found myself 100% invested in Nico’s questions and their answers. I am so excited to read more from this author!
“Save Me, Kurt Cobain” is not a book meant to be read by everyone (which is in no way a bad thing), but for those it is meant for, you will enjoy it immensely.

At its heart, it is the coming-of-age story of Nico Cavan, a girl who has been lost in the world since the age of four. She is an extremely well-developed character who evokes both sympathy and, at times, rage. Believe me, sometimes the reader will truly want to shake her and ask what the heck she is doing. The auxiliary characters are developed to the perfect point of being both mysterious and understood. In other words, you see them as Nico sees them.

The book is also a love story to music. While Nirvana is the central band, as is obvious from the title, there are many other good ones mentioned. I really hope some of the younger readers will give them a try. I grew up in the Kurt Cobain era, and the facts and stories about him brought an intense wave of nostalgia. Though I do have to admit I felt ancient when they were classified as oldies that parents listen to. Many of the facts presented I had never heard, and I found that to add quite a bit of enjoyment to my reading experience.

My only complaint is that the beginning of the book seems to drag somewhat. All of it is important to where the story goes, so please remember that if you are tempted to stop reading. It is totally worth it.

“Save Me, Kurt Cobain” will appeal to all of the audiophiles, artists, “freaks”, and the lost. It’s perfect for both young adults and adults.
