“I was so tired of hurting and not having what I wanted, of being punished for who I was even when I tried to do the right thing.”
This book puts you through the emotional ringer. Which, I thought I was prepared for, I mean I was TOLD that it would, I knew that it would, I just didn’t expect it to hit how it did.
The author does an amazing job on the writing style, pacing and tone that you are sucked in and just feel every moment of this story. It is told from a single POV and at times I really wanted more POV, but now that I have finished book one, I am glad that there wasn’t.
Oh, and I laughed, like belly laughed. Plus the sister, she is a B, but at this point, I kinda love her. (I am sure I will eat those words later, or maybe not, but going lay it out there now so I can revisit and smack myself later)
As of this moment, I know how I want the story to proceed but I don’t want what I think I want. Or do I? I need more info, and after letting it sit for a week I can’t wait anymore and will be starting book 2!
Oh, the narrator was so great on having the characters be so different, even in all the emotional scenes and fun scenes. There was never a question on who was saying what part. I forgot that it was a single narrator a few times. The audio is a clean production and it was easy to listen to at 2.7 speed. (Though with the emotions, I slowed this one to 1.7. Faster went through the scene too quickly and soften the emotional blow. And let’s be real, we are reading for the emotions)
4/2025: Thoughts after Re-Read
The first time I read this book last year, everything hit with fresh, raw emotion—no spoilers, just pure gut reactions as I went in completely blind. But now, picking it up a year later, everything feels the same… and somehow so much more complicated. Characters I couldn’t stand the first time? I’m seeing them differently now, and it completely shifts the tone of so many scenes.
Even knowing how this trilogy ends, this book still hits every emotion—the same ones, just deeper and more tangled. I thought I knew what to expect, but it still pulled at me in ways I didn’t see coming. The second read is a whole new beast. The feelings are all still there—stronger, even—but now they’re layered, complex, and just a little bit cruel. Like the book knows exactly where to hurt you… and still goes for it.
This is the Benchmark for Every 90s Coming-of-Age Story!
