Outer Banks: Lights Out by Alyssa Sheinmel
2.0
2.5 stars. Maybe 3 if I’m being generous.
I was kind of disappointed to be honest. I like how it switches between John B and JJ’s perspectives throughout.
One thing that really bugged me about the writing was the repetition of points on the same page. I understand repeating scenes from different perspectives but having characters say the same thing literally two lines after they last sad it is really frustrating to read.
The “relationship” between savannah and JJ was cliché and kind of fanfic(y). It was played out in attempt to be cute I guess but it was a bit cringey. I don’t know if that’s just me?
Outer Banks is great because it’s action-packed and there’s plot twists left right and centre, but the plot in the book was sort of vague and felt like there wasn’t necessarily a point to it.
I mean it was easy to read but I don’t think I’d read it again.
