The Thorns Remain by J.J.A. Harwood
dark
emotional
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
I'm not going to give this one a star rating simply because as we all know, YA just ~isn't my thing~ and it's no fault of this book for simply being the thing it's intended to be. That being said! I found this a pleasant read, and appreciated that there was absolutely no question about whether forced love is actually love. (It's not.) If you like YA, I recommend!
Graphic: Forced institutionalization, Kidnapping, and Grief
Moderate: Death and Death of parent
Minor: War
