A review by archaicrobin
The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.
This book sound unique and like it might actually do something but instead it’s full of unlikeable characters, internalized misogyny, and toxic YA tropes that further romanticize the concept of young girls falling in love with the “bad boy”. Except this time the bad boy literally captures and skins young girls alive, but like it’s ok because Tierney is not your regular girl, she’s SMART. This book does not deserve 4 stars, it’s bad. If you’re looking for a feminist YA apocalyptic dystopian novel about female power, pass on this one and read Extasia by Claire Legrand instead.
