A YA novel in verse, which depicts the relationships of 20 different high school students. I didn‘t always know the gender of the person speaking and I certainly didn‘t always get how these characters connected to each other, but I enjoyed this book nevertheless.

Just tore through the audio version of this one. Whoa, what an ending!

Bookish Song Nr. 56 - Troublemaker

I wasn't really looking for a special song, just skipping through Spotify, but when this song started playing it just immediately threw me back into this book. There sure is a lot of trouble going on and the beat fits the story telling imo. Really, this book is still spinning around in my head 😄

Interesting debut by a trans author!

Centred on an intense friendship in a New York City high school that begins on 9/11, this novel kinda slightly missed the mark for me.

I was interested in the fate of the characters but the chapters using AIM chat and livejournal blog posts were off putting to me.

Something about Nell and Fays blog really made me uncomfortable? I don‘t know how to articulate it.

Ruthiella I think the journals were meant to be awkward and off putting. Teenagers are figuring things out. I can‘t read my diaries from my younger years. I cringe. 😬 (edited) 4d
squirrelbrain Great review, although I loved this one! 4d

Kitta @Ruthiella that makes sense then, it was definitely awkward reading them! I stopped keeping a diary after my sister started writing responses to what I wrote in mine! I never thought anyone would read it never mind write their thoughts back! 😱 4d
Kitta @squirrelbrain I don‘t usually read anything about teenagers because I‘m just not interested but I wanted to make an exception for this one! I think the second half was better than the first and most people seemed to enjoy it! I think I‘m the odd one out. It wasn‘t bad, just not for me. 4d

Kenyazero Sounds like an interesting concept, at the very least! Always disappointing when a book misses the mark. 2d
Kitta @Kenyazero a lot of others really loved it! But at least I can check off disappointing read on my bingo card haha 1d

Wow, this book was insane! I'm the past, I have jumped in the McFadden bandwagon, but this book made me a believer! The characters were delectably hateable and it touched on some seriously intense issues tw: child abuse (don't want to spoil it), but it was done in such a way that it ended up satisfying. Definitely would be a good book club read. The twists in the end will give you whiplash and I loved the nod to Edgar A Poe. ⭐⭐⭐✨

Honestly I will give it to this author she's the queen of the twist at the wnd of the book. But with that said you have to slog through 140 odd pages for this one to get page turn worthy...hit and miss when it comes to this author. The ending was good...but the rest...meh
