The Unlikelies by Carrie Firestone

4.0

My friend recommended this to me so I couldn't say no... but overall if I'm being very direct I should say that it really wasn't all the great. The whole scenario in the first place was very unrealistic and one of the spurs of the moment type of thing. I like the message, I really did. How Sadie is part of this Unlikelies group that tries to find the good in the world. Helping others while never asking for anything in return. It's about being a good person and making the right choices. The sweet moments balanced out in the book. I was REALLY happy with the ship, but it balanced out with what was happening to one of Alice's friends. The ending was also quite meh.

Spoiler

In the near beginning Sadie is trusted with a bunch of yellow diamonds, which the old man who gave it to her told her to 'do good' with it. Yet in the end, all they do is store most of the diamonds for later. When they're older and more mature. THIS DOESN'T HELP! Argh. Also, I still have no idea what happened to Izzy. Maybe I just read too fast on her part but seriously what happened... like is Izzy in rehab? I have no idea tbh. And how the baby's mom is a lizard. Like whyyyy, of all things the baby's mom has to be evil too.

Overall the ship saved this book for me. I LOVED the ship. SHIP WITHOUT REGRETS!!! So to sum it up... 3.5 stars.
