The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand
2.0
I have … issues with the ending of this book.
I did enjoy the first ~40 % of it, it was a fun read and a nice change from what I've read lately. Then I started to think about what would happen with Holly, what was HER endgame? And how I felt about that.
And I have to admit that I feel a bit icky about a 23 year-old living in a 17 year-old's body? With her life? And like, the world changes pretty fast these days, how do you handle going back six years in terms of technology's advancement, political change, fashion … it's a lot.
Also, the fact that Holly's dad's production company was called GCP, which was also the acronym for Holly's work title, and that there was NO CONNECTION??? Nah.
I was ready to give this book a 4 during the first 30-40 %. Then I finished it.
Very happy she didn't end up with Ethan though, because ending up with him after scamming him for several months would have been even more icky than the "23 yo in a 17 yo's body" thing.
