What Mother Won't Tell Me by Ivar Leon Menger

mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

this is the first translation work I've read and I really liked it! the writing style wasn't my absolute favorite - it felt a bit juvenile, but that's probably because of Juno's age and relative immaturity. there were some jaw dropping moments lmao and I was really into it for the last 100 pages ish. I do feel like it wrapped up a little abruptly though.

also I understand that Juno doesn't really understand love or anything so she thought she was in love with Luca but I feel like that could have all been taken out and the story would have been the same idk
