Reviews

[Eve1972]

This is one of those books where you have to set aside your belief in logic and just go with the flow. The four main characters ventured WAY into TO STUPID TO LIVE land and on more than a few occasions had me rolling my eyes at some of their decisions.



That being said...the story sucked me right in from word go and kept me turning pages right up until the end. I found all four of the main characters likable, and I enjoyed the BREAKFAST CLUB type of vibe that they had going on. The ending was a bit of a letdown as it's left kind of open ended. I wanted a bit more closure, but it is what it is.

Overall a pretty decent read.

Rebel Bully Geek Pariah was a story that I thought was going to be fun and light. Let me tell you it that while it was fun, it was some sort of fast-paced mystery thriller that was done really well along with an adventurous night.

We have four main characters that normally wouldn't have been friends but circumstances brought them together and they must endure a whole night together, running away from danger. This story only has one point of view, which is Sam's, the "pariah" and it's told in Before the night all four characters spent together, the night of, and After which is present-time Sam telling her mother about that night.

I liked that this story was divided in three, as I mentioned above, because we get to read just a bit of the aftermath of that night and a little bit of a background on the characters from Sam's point of view. I would have liked if each character had their own point of view to give a more personal feel to the story and a connection to the characters, since there was no depth to the characters and therefore I couldn't feel anything for them. The characters turned out to be annoying at times which irked me, especially with all the stupid decisions they were making.

The plot twist had my mind going crazy for a bit since I had not seen that coming at all and the ending added another twist to the story that I liked.

Overall, this was a quick, enjoyable and entertaining story, despite my dislikes towards it.

I received an eARC for free in exchange for an honest review.
