A review by belreadsbooks
Retro by Jarrod Shusterman, Sofía Lapuente
Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.
Retro is a young adult novel and both authors do a great job of conveying this teen voice. I do wish younger me had a copy of this book because I know she would’ve devoured this writing and the storyline.
If you are someone who feels as if you could not live without modern technology and enjoy a good YA thriller, I would give this a go. The direction the story was taking was very promising and I loved the narrators voice and the way the story was being told. The plot however just took quite some time to progress and I simply lost interest (note: I have been trying to get out of a reading slump, so I may revisit this novel at a future date, as this could just be a case of ‘right book, wrong time’).
My thanks go out to Netgalley and the publisher for the complimentary e-arc in exchange for an honest review. All opinions in this review are my own.
