It’s a huge disappointment when none of our teens act like teens. We have a 14, 15, and two 16 year olds having an existential discussion where they all sound like they’re in their late teens/early 20s.
Two are pointed out as “you seem older” but the other two, our leads, seemed older in the earlier scenes before we even meet the second set of characters.

I wanted to like this book but I just didn’t. Summary was promising, execution was poor. Hated most of the characters, & especially Grace. Once what “happened to her” was revealed, it just didn’t seem like as big of a deal & it wasn’t explained all that well. Like others said, the back and forth narration made it very confusing at first, & I don’t think it added much to the story. Not my favorite.

Dang this book was pretty good! I’m glad the ending wasn’t a let down but man these characters are stupid I caught on to things really easy like how did these people not think of these things ? Why the lies ? Huh??

Who We Were in the Dark is not necessarily bad, but it doesn't address a core question...why should I care about this particular narrative and its characters.
