Cursed Child? More like cursed book. I hated everything about it. Gave it a full star instead of a half only because I love the world so much and it was nice to see some of my favorite characters again after so long.

As a former theatre kid, the play format didn't bother me at all, but the story itself was terrible. I've seen people call it a well-written fan-fiction and honestly that's an insult to many of the amazing fan-fictions out there.

The beginning of this book had me thinking that I would enjoy it very much. As it went on however, it lost steam for me. I tried reading something else and then going back to it a few times, but I could never really get into it enough to finish it.

This was a very quick read and I was very engaged in the story. However, I think Kerry spends the majority of the book telling the story of what she did, and not as much time was spent on how she healed. In the end, which was rather abrupt, I am not sure she even learned anything or came away with any self-reflection. Neither a lesson learned nor an in independent defense of behavior in the name of sexual independence. I just kind of...ended, and that makes the book seem like a bit of a waste of time to me.
