A review by ashleyelizabeth
Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff

dark emotional mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? No

2.5

This is very teen-forward. The teenage characters are un-relatable to most (well rounded) adults. They were pretty much the worst parts of being a teenager all rolled into one group of friends. 

The ending was also extremely abrupt and I felt that not everything was resolved. Also, while it was advertised to be more of a murder, mystery, thriller type of book, the entire book was about anorexia. The murder and investigations by the characters didn’t even start until over halfway through.

If I wasn’t reading this for a book club, I would have DNF
