Read August 2020
I thought that this was an intriguing book with an interesting concept but on the whole it fell a little short for me. Everything was all hints and vagueries and abandoned thoughts. There was an overall lack of clarity. Even the ending lacked impact. An explanation that wasn't an explanation, some more dropped hints and then it just kind of ended. I wanted more of the "then" than short passages. I wanted more about Summer, her past, just her, she didn't really feel like a proper character.
It also took a long time for the story to get going with the plot. For a while I wasn't sure what the plot was beyond moaning about being notorious for something they didn't do. Mia's muteness in the past was a slightly odd character trait. Also her and Brynn blended together a little too much. Their voices were sometimes a little too similar and apparently both have very sharp features which was also odd. I loved Abby though! A fat character portrayed positively! Although if I were Mia I wouldn't be commenting on my best friend's hypertension and prediabetes, especially as they have no relevance on the character or plot. Bad move on the author's part.
3/5 stars
