The Believing Game by Eireann Corrigan
4.0
This book was many different things. Bad was not one of them. I really really enjoyed this book. The characters were so well thought out and elegant. It was magnificent. I'm a sucker for a love story which is originally why I had bought this book. I had no idea what I had signed up for: a roller coaster of tension, love, and all-out creepiness.
I loved the circle of friends and thought Greer and Addison were soulmates. Addison irritated me, though, because Greer consistently stated how smart he was, yet he fell into Joshua's trap. I guess he was in a bad place when he met Joshua and thought Joshua was a god.
Which leads me to say, I fucking hated Joshua. I found myself rolling my eyes whenever he would speak his holier-than-thou bullshit. I hated how he tried playing God and would deny it if he got called out on it.
I was disappointed with the ending, though. I didn't feel a sense of completeness rather than me wondering what happened to Addison. He was such an important part of Greer's time at McCracken Hill, I felt we were owed an explanation of what happened to Addison. I would've liked to known more about what happened to Greer after McCracken Hill, too, other than that she was happy with a husband and her kid.
4 stars because it was such a good book. Kept me on the edge of my seat.
