Girl A by Abigail Dean
4.0
i think a lot of the negative reviews have to do with marketing. this is not a thriller. its more a character study of lex and the lasting effects of her trauma. while i understand people not liking the disjointed writing style and constantly changing timelines seemingly at random, i felt like it was a reflection of lex’s brain processes and how she views the world and how aspects of her trauma leak into every aspect of her life.
i think the daniel/noah mix up was intended to be confusing but didnt really serve a purpose in the book? like i kind of felt like cutting noah out of the book and focusing more on daniel wouldnt have changed the plot and would have been more interesting for the reader.

may come back to this at another time as i was in a big slump when i first picked it up. i really like the concept and was enjoying the book until cliff left the school. i was much more interested in mcmasters itself than in cliffs personal vendetta and it kind of lost me at that point.

i simply do not care! i was hesitant to pick up this book bc i didnt love the first one, but the ending intrigued me. the beginning of this book throws you into the deep end of a completely new plotline and skips a bunch of the events that i wanted to find out about in this book. kind of a spoiler i guess but randomly killing off zan felt like the author needed him gone for her new plot idea and didnt know what else to do. idk if he comes back again but getting rid of the most compelling characters for no reason was stupid
Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith
3.5
pretty inconsistent pacing throughout and it took me a while to connect to the characters. i was almost 100% sure i was gonna dnf the series until the last 50ish pages. I am excited for the next one but hoping its a smoother read.
Glow by Raven Kennedy

the last like 200 pages are not bad but pls tell me why we spent 400 pages of auren just ignoring everything and all her problems like it got so repetitive. also the smut scenes made me want to end my own life raven please stop.
i couldnt figure out why i keep picking these books up even though i genuinely despise this series and its because raven kennedy knows how to write a damn ending. it makes me want to find out what happens even though the majority of the book is spent cringing at word choices and awkward grammar structures as well as poor pacing.

alright raven. u got me. i like this one. im not sure if the writing style is better in this book or if im just used to it now but the last half especially i flew through. i dont like men but i would for slade tbh. also what is with aurens determination to never say the word man??????? why does she say male every time????? it sounds so weird and always took me out of the story bc the sentence flow would stop. also can we as a society collectively come up with a new word thats not pussy or cunt because im so tired of het smut scenes.
