My rating: 3/5 cats
One StarOne StarOne Star

okay, so the ending—who knows—but the rest of the book had a lot of enjoyable writing. it’s true it was predictable and there were some inconsistencies, but then i realized she was 17 when she wrote this, so i forgave the flaws. (so magnanimous, i) it would have been 4 stars cats, but that ending…but i have her other novel so i’ll read that, and the new one is out soon and i’m sure that they will be more mature but still retaining the “good bits” from this first one.

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
