A review by slmbooks
Safety in Numbers by Sophie Penhaligon
Did not finish book.
I received an e-ARC of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review
DNF @ 42%.
I really struggled to keep interested with this one, to be honest.
The book is centred around the main characters disability, and while I am ALL FOR the differently-abled having a voice, and being in the spotlight, this book didn't do the community any justice, whatsoever.
Every thought, every action, was always justified by her disability - meaning, it was brought up entirely too much. Again, not bashing the differently-abled - simply, knowing a few, they would not want to be cast in this light. They are more than their disability, and unfortunately, this character doesn't appear to be, due to the way she was written.
Also, the book is extremely repetitive. I swear, I read similar paragraphs in various chapters.
I was hoping to like this one, because the characters seemed cute - and I loved how supportive and accommodating Milo was!
Sorry Sophie, but this wasn't for me!
