The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

5.0

This is an amazing book but I think what I loved the most about it is the transitions from scene to scene and how real she made it. Maggie Hall incorporates whats going on while the protagonist is thinking/ talking. For instance, at the prom scene, she would often go back to the prom celebration and awards. We weren't only hearing Avery's point of view or the conversation she was hearing but everything that was happening around her. I feel that because of these small details the story becomes so much realistic. When I'm thinking in the mall there's still the bustling of the crowd and the music on the speakers and to take it out makes everything less pragmatic and more of an imitation of reality. Maybe it's just me but I really loved and appreciated this and that's what changed this review from what would have been a 4-star to a 5-star.
