The author reached out to me via Instagram and asked I read her book. The author wrote this book when she was 12. How could I say no to that?

I really wanted to like this book. I really did. However, after reading 60% of the short book I just couldn’t read anymore. At this point we’d already had a broke family fleeing their landlord, a forced out young sister, two killers who were killed themselves via a murder chip in their neck, a drug dealing dad who also died of a murder chip, a cheating mom, a cloaked man a brand newly out lesbian protagonist, and a club of teenagers who help the police solve murders with the endorsement of the mayor. It made me think of a teenage tv series. Now this would be perfect for that!

It was so unrealistic I just couldn’t handle anymore. The author also seemed to introduce an idea and then it was over, no elaboration, it just was.

With some development I think we will see great things from this author. If she would learn to focus and develop the plot lines more thoroughly she would be amazing.I’m excited for her future!
