A review by neixin
The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3.75

beautifully written and very juicy and dramatic. i still don’t know if i was actually rooting for the romance though. they had a lot of sweet moments and i see why they love each other but given the circumstances, i just feel like there was a noticeable lack of a Grand Romantic Gesture on hector’s part to make up for the shit he’d done (perhaps the beetles were supposed to be the grand romantic gesture but umm….. this could be my own aversion to bugs but that simply doesn’t seem sufficient to me, all things considered).
