A review by camdennn
The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton
4.0
I received an Advanced Proof from Goodreads and I definitely wasn’t disappointed!
The story is so easy to settle into and the characters were so intriguing. While the outcome was slightly predictable towards the end I found myself hoping it wasn’t true which resulted in a late night of reading because I couldn’t put the book down.
On top of this I found the writing extremely refreshing for a coming of age story — elevated without being pretentious. The questions posed and the conversations the characters had stuck with me after putting the book down as I began working my way through the same conversations in my head.
I have definitely become a fan and can’t wait to pick up the author’s first book but don’t miss this one. It will leave you turning the phrase shipwrecked soul over and over in your head for days after finishing.
