The Five

by Lily White

So hold tight because I need to go pet some fluffy bunnies before I start this review...

 
OK, so...WOW. Where do I start? First, I have to say I think Lily White is one of the most versatile authors I have ever had the pleasure to read. Whenever you pick up one of her books, you never know what you are getting yourself into. Every one of them are unique and frankly, amazing. This book was no different. This is the second book in as many days where I have been blown away by how good it was. It is also the second book in a row where I will leave my review pretty dang vague. 



This book was CRAZY. I am not gonna even lie. It was also amazingly well written. It is a relatively long book, but you won't want to skim a single moment. Trust me on that point. It is told in a dual POV format and through the use of "past" and "present" chapters. The plot was super engaging. Dark. Twisted. Heartbreaking. Uncomfortable. Rainy...man...I don't even know what to say about this girl. She made me depressed, but she also made me want to shake the sh!t out of her. I am not even going to touch on the men in this book...oy vey. Last...the ending. The only TINY niggle I had with this one was the ending, and that is only because something is mentioned earlier in the book that gave the ending away. As soon as a character mentioned it, I knew how this book would end. I think if that conversation had been left out the ending would have had a much bigger impact on me. Especially since as far as I could tell that bit of information wasn't pertinent to the story. Still, even with that this book was an amazing read and well deserving of the 5-Stars I am gifting it. I can't wait to see what this author has up her sleeve next!
