Release by Patrick Ness
3.0
We can never really have it all.
With all the buzz and mixed reviews going on about this Patrick Ness title, I bravely picked my own copy since the book just *puppy-eyed* me from my TBR stack. Moreover, let's spill some tea about unpopular bookish opinions.
I'm amazed that I managed to finish this book in like two days because I was actually clueless the entire time I was reading this. I'm not sure if it's the good kind of clueless because I have no idea why I'm reading two stories all throughout and I'm the type of reader who gets bored when the storyline is not clicking within.
My sympathy is on Adam Thorn, he does not deserve the world he is living in this book and I'm a bit glad that she has her own Angela Darlington. Maybe what we need is just someone who we can rely on to whatever storm comes in the way. However, this book somehow exposed the reality of religious family when it comes to the topic of heterosexuality.
Anyway, the ending minimally justified the buildup because I'm kinda waiting for something mind-blowing to happen but the resolution wasn't able to deliver thoroughly. Sadly, 2.5stars.
