Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth
5.0
Oh, what do I say about this book?
Firstly, I love how out of the first page this book hits you with the Queer and doesn't let it go. Almost all of the characters are on the LGBT spectrum and it's so good.
This story gives such suspense because it goes between present day and to the past 1904. Danforth paints such a good picture of all the storylines intersecting and how wonderful it is when all these loose ends ending up being tied together.
I hate Yellow-Jackets and this book has made new significance to them. Blech. Wonderful job it making that horror feel incredibly real to me.
Danforth takes such real horrific elements and make you feel them to your core. I haven't read a horror novel since HS and even then it wasn't that great. This book makes me want to go find so many more like it, even though I know it won't be quite like the masterpiece this is.
Easily this is the Best book I've read this year.
"I wish someone would write a book about a plain, bad heroine so that I might feel in real sympathy with her."
Well, Mary McLane I think we have seen more than enough in this book and all of these heroine's characters were amazing. I enjoyed the story building with Merritt, Harper, and Audrey. They were so real and the processes they went through were amazing. Libby and Alex, I wasn't sure at first how I truly felt about them but it was tragic what they went through. The characters from the present and the past were tangible and I feel in love with them. For each of their flaws and their virtues.
Thank you, Plain Bad Heroines.
