Hysteria by Megan Miranda
3.0
I thought this novel had a very interesting premise, even though the characterization left much to be desired. Mallory gets shipped off to boarding school with hardly any warning from her parents, and doesn't really put up much of a fight about it. Once she gets there, she doesn't go out of her way to make friends. Even when the guy she has known forever, Reid, tries to connect with her, she shuts him out. She never really comes alive until near the end of the book.
I liked watching the tense plot unfold, and though I never truly felt the amount of fear that Mallory must be feeling, I believed that she felt it. I also liked the flashbacks to the past, that were told as memories slowly came back to Mallory.
There were a couple of twists at the end that I enjoyed, but I still felt there was a lot left unsaid. I won't say what in this review, but I think other readers will agree with me. I hope Mallory went on to have a better life, because after everything she'd been through, she definitely deserved it.
