A review by ellakostka
Girls at the Edge of the World by Laura Brooke Robson
4.0
★★★★☆ 4/5
thank you to penguinteen and netgallery for the arc!
WOW okay that was actually so so good. this book was on my list for most anticipated releases for 2021 and i practically screamed when i got the arc and it definitely lived up to my expectations.
i really liked the idea of the book, and it felt pretty well done. maybe a little too much plot and it felt a little messy at times, but it was enjoyable and easy to look past.
the romance also felt a little rushed at the end, i feel like the book focused more on the plot than the romance so it felt a little under-developed but i’m hoping we get to explore ella and natasha’s romance a little further in the next book! (which i am actually super excited for already)
there were a lot of characters in this book, and not all of them felt developed. i appreciate an author who isn’t afraid to cause their characters pain, but if you want the readers to hurt along with them, you have to make the readers connect with said characters.
but overall, this was really enjoyable and i practically raced through the last 100 pages because they were SO GOOD. definitely looking forward to the sequel!!
also that cover though... GORGEOUS
