A review by victorianhouse01
Exalted by Anna Dorn
3.0
2.5 stars— I didn’t like this as much as I hoped! I had high hopes for a novel that starts with a Heathers quote but it just reminded me of how bleak LA and influencer culture are. I obviously love my Ingrid Goes West kind of books but Exalted fell short of that. Dawn is extremely (extremely) unlikeable. I understand that she is essential and not supposed to have the readers support but the way she— as a lesbian— dogged on every other lesbian was just tiring and frankly annoying. Emily was also an exhausting character— though I enjoyed her appreciation Winona Ryder. I understand and love satire— but this was just tired.
The twist was funny but predictable? Idk maybe this is mor enjoyed in the summer. It wasn’t for me.
