Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner
4.0
This book was a wild, wild ride and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I found the characters of Erin and Max to be really compelling. They acted like authentic ‘teenagers’ which is to say selfish, short-sighted, and emotional but trying their absolute best. They had distinct voices with each of their POVs and you can see how their experiences shaped who they were.
On the other hand, I really wish the antagonists were more realized and three-dimensional. This isn’t to say that I wanted to see their ‘good’ side or have them be redeemed. But there were a lot of unanswered questions about how and why people did the things they did. This is all hand-waved away with a line about how in real life, we don’t get answers. But that’s the point, this is a book! I want some answers at least.
Thank you to NetGalley and Delacorte Press for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
