Self-Portrait with Nothing by Aimee Pokwatka
3.0
⭐️Official Rating: 3.3⭐️
If you could meet yourself from an alternate universe, would you?
This book is broken into three parts, so that’s how I’ll review it. No spoilers included, I won’t even divulge how the plot goes. (Hehe)
Part 1 - This portion of the book felt slow moving and almost repetitive. I think this took a majority of my time reading, as it took 2 months to complete while the other parts took me about 2 days. The character development and scenarios didn’t appeal to me as much as I was hoping they would. It gave the same feeling as trying to make friends with someone you aren’t truly vibing with…something’s off.
The main character seemed dull and I swear her brain couldn’t develop new thoughts for the life of her. Also, she was seriously attached to her cell phone. Definitely worth getting through to get to the other parts.
Part 2 - It starts to pick up here. The introduction to lots of new characters, big reveals, and suspense. It gave kind of a creepy vibe, but not so much where I needed to put the book down. More so that I needed to finish this mystery asap to see how it concluded. Better characters were introduced here.
Part 3 - Short and sweet. A wholesome conclusion for a book that made me slightly uncomfortable the entire time. If you like alternate dimensions, art theft, and mystery, this book checks all the boxes.
