A Fantastic Mess of Everything by Beck Medina
1.0
I wanted to like this book... the reviews and comments on here gave me great hope for it.
The thing is, this is clearly an early work for Medina. And all writers are going to have early works... we grow from somewhere. But some of those earlier works are just that early... not ready for the reading of the masses. It doesn't mean the idea was bad or that the writer sharing should stop writing... but this one only gives a small glimpse of what could be.
I could not finish this book because it needed more editing and polishing. After getting through 30% through it was a jumbled mess... while the setting and ages of the characters make this a NA, the voices of the characters read more like a MG book.
Overall I have great hope though for future books from Medina just hope that more time is spent on editing and polishing.
***I received a copy of this book for a book tour and an honest review.
