lizdarkhorse 's review for:

Eat the Ones You Love by Sarah Maria Griffin

3.75

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Honestly for over 50% of the book this would have been a five star read for me. The reason I didn't give it a five star review is that the pacing slowed down quite a bit in the second half as things are revealed. I feel like when you

have a sentient plant as a character that controls the actions of others it makes it feel strange for the character motivations because it's not really them controlling themselves. Early on yes, later on not so much.

I did enjoy the characters and the writing, but I felt like the pacing is quite uneven.
