Midnight Beauties by Megan Shepherd

4.0

It was a good book with my standard caveats that it’s a bit YA for me in The Who likes whom aspect (and possibly too predictable in that respect. I was good with it overall, but I want to point out a specific dislike in the finish. Basically, right after telling Rennar off for wanting to care for the world deeply in his own misguided fashion (ruling), Anouk basically turns around and tells her crew that they are the only ones who can save/rule the world! This after she thinks one of the reasons Rennar failed was his long durance... as if she and hers will do much better w/o putting failsafes in place. Maybe they will, but maybe they won’t and it just feels... aggravatingly like they’re being set up to fail and can’t see it.
