A review by lisathepoetlibrarian
Last Girls by Demetra Brodsky

5.0

Within a compelling mystery, Brodsky employs a meticulous composed plot with poetic language to beautifully and subtly address the anxiety of living in our current society and political landscape. She is able to make the book feel immediate, but also timeless. Her protagonist, Honey, is creative, brave, and loyal. Brodsky is a masterful storyteller drawing us into a world that both tempts with a promise of safety and repels with fear of its power and secrecy. While veering towards reality fiction, this is a book that I would recommend to students who like the intrigue and pacing of fantasy books and could also appeal to readers of adventure stories.
