Dare Me

I apparently need a shelf for things I read because it turns out that I need more books than I can carry for two weeks in Europe and there's no English language bookstores in the Swiss Alps and my library app limits what I can download internationally.

This book is utter crap. Complete and utter crap. Paper thin characters. The least mysterious mystery. I'm not totally sure Megan Abbott was ever a teenage girl, but, wow, that is NOT what it's like. Also, it reads super slowly. I seriously considered DNF'ing it despite having literally no reading alternative. Not really any redeeming features.

This gave me secondhand anorexa, my god the entire description is drenched in how thin and taught they all are. It was becoming kind of disgusting at the end. All the characters are generally the same and unlikeable. But also I didn't really get the point of the story.  Nothing changed throughout, no one learned anything. There is no character development at all. I didn't much enjoy the writing style or the story but it was very well thought out and written and made me feel super tense for what would happen. Though I still felt it went all super slow.
