A review by denaiir
Bonfire by Krysten Ritter
4.0
I thouroughly enjoyed this book, it was a good thriller with a complex and compelling subjet (environmental pollution and cover-ups by big companies) that gave an Erin Brockovich kind of vibe. The characters reminded me of [b: All the Missing Girls|23212667|All the Missing Girls|Megan Miranda|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452098621s/23212667.jpg|42755300], and the ensemble cast was likeable (for the "nice" characters) and fit well together.
I think the final twist was quit easy to guess but I still enjoyed the path the story took to get to that point. Some of the characters were twisted but not so much that they would be too unrealistic (Kaycee for example was a horrible teenager, but we know people like that do exist).
At was point I was a bit annoyed at the main character for pushing herself to the limit and acting a bit crazy, but not so much that I would want to put the book down. So if you feel like that, keep reading, it won't last long!
Overall I had a really good time and read it in 2 sittings, even if there were some parts where some actions seemed a bit too convenient to be realistic (clues appearing out of nowhere, people having really good hunches); it was captivating and gripping.
I really hope Krysten Ritter writes more books in the future, I will definitely check them out!
