Ok. I didn't think I'd like this book. I sort of forced myself to start it for lack of anything else to read. Boy howdy was I wrong. So wrong that this is my very first review on goodreads. I feel compelled to share my reader's high!
I loved this book. Devoured it in less than 24 hours, in spite of laundry and dishes and 3 kids. It sucked me in. I love Emerson, not only because I desperately wanted to name one of my girls that, but because she's feisty and funny and vulnerable and scared and angry. And short :)
It had romance, mystery, intrigue, decent depth for a YA novel, and a couple nice plot twists to keep me on edge. A winner in my book.
Dismal. Poorly written and rife with grammatical errors. When I reached the second misplaced apostrophe on a single page, I knew I was done.
I could not get into this book. I hated the witless, idiotic protagonist and her self-created pathetic life. She wasn't funny or likable, just weak. A third of the way through it I still had no idea where the plot (??) was going, and gave up. Disappointing.
Just not my cup of tea. A little too gruesome & dark, a little too much incomprehensible science-speak.
Concept is interesting, but the writing is juvenile and repetitive. I started counted how many times the word “screams” appeared.
I tried, I really did, but after reading 15% of the book I still had no idea who was who or why I should care. Flat and boring. Dnf
Could not get into this book. Writing was bland and smacked of an American trying to write as a Brit. Very slow and uninspired plot;29% in and the mystery has not begun other than minor hintings at a death. Life's too short to read boring books.
Gave up. Poorly written, no character development, no discernible plot; petty, vain, shallow protagonist; even more clearly bachelorette-inspired than the first 3. I could overlook it in the first ones bc there were some redeeming factors, but this one...no.
