Tonight the Streets Are Ours – Leila Sales
Read Aug 19 - Library
Arden was a doormat, but I did kind
of like her. She was kind and loyal and had hope for the future, Lindsey was
annoying, she didn’t have much personality beyond whiny leech. Apparently, she
was a runner but no mention was made of any events or competitions. I did
sympathise with her being gay in a small town, she did seem lonely, but at the
same time she didn’t seem to want to change anything. Chris annoyed me. He had
no personality beyond “I’m an act-or”, also pet names like babe and sweetheart
piss me off. The sudden across country road trip seemed rather unrealistic and
dangerous! Let’s drive across three states to find some blogger bloke! Unsurprisingly
Peter was a jerk. A flash git who only cared about his own ego. Also the reveal
of him being Asian felt a little forced and a little bit like tokenism: “hey
here’s a POC even though there’s literally no hint until my pretty white girl
protagonist points it out despite her being obsessed with his blog”. Overall,
the storytelling was compelling, the plot was weak and the characters basic.
3/5 stars
