A review by missriki
Beautiful Little Fool by K.K. Hendin
4.0
It is going to be hard to write a review for this book without giving away too much, but I'm going to do my best! I cannot tell you much about the plot without giving away the big reveal, but what I can tell you is that the prose is taught, the writing is perfectly sparse, and the pacing is quick. There's no ornamental descriptions or long passages of inner dialogue in this novel. Every sentence is straight to the point and packs a punch. There is not a single wasted word.
Without giving too much away, I will say that I loved Cedar as the lead character in this novel. She's unlikeable, for sure, but there's something altogether intriguing about a woman with such a narrow vision of what she wants in the world, and who will stop at absolutely nothing to get it. She's deliciously unattached and a little evil, and I loved living in her world for a while.
The book is short and moves at a quick pace throughout, but the last 20% of the novel moves at breakneck speed, right up to a shocking conclusion. The story is riveting and you'll gasp when you find out the big secret. I found myself saying "What?!?"
This book is unlike any other K.K. Hendon novel, but I loved it!
