Lord of the Flies | William Golding

One sentence:  What happened isn’t AS bad as I thought… I guess? Three thoughts: I started this book thinking one of the kids would get eaten. I don’t know why I thought that, but I was convinced. No one got eaten but like… they might as well have? I’m so disturbed. Rating Characters: 5/5 – Yeesh. Like, some of these characters were the embodiment of evil, but they were really well written, so I can’t hate on them too much! Jack was just a disaster. Like, he devolved so quickly.  ...

The Girl with the Louding Voice | Abi Dare

One sentence:  Exactly what I expected, plus so heart-warming. Three thoughts: I love Adunni. She is a firecracker.

This book is full – FULL – of terrible people! Rating Characters: 4/5. Wow, what a bunch of terrible people. But also, like, are they??? What’s the truth here? I was totally fine with Amber, then I hated her, then I felt terrible for her, and now I’m like wait, what the fuck? And it’s  ...

The Last Mrs. Parrish | Liv Constantine

One sentence:  It had its weaknesses, but it was definitely still a page-turner. Three thoughts: I was really turned off at first by his unrealistic some parts of the relationships were, and the dialogue wasn’t great. I’ve been waiting to read this for a while, and even with the issues I had, it still lived up to the hype. Never heard of Liv Constantine before now but based on this book, I’ll read more of her stuff. Rating Characters: 4/5. I had to really think a bit before judging  ...
