A review by michellexu
The Shadows by Jacqueline West

Guys this “review” is gonna be so cursed because this is literally a children’s book and the only reason I read it is because I bought it at the school book fair when I was 11 but I never actually read it. And now I’m 18.. but I was like nah I’m not gonna let that money go to waste so I’m gonna read it. The plot wasn’t really intriguing, like the idea for the story itself is creative but I felt like the book was just imagery with no actual plot. I never leave a book unfinished but I really wanted to because I honestly did not care to find out what happened at the end because there was nothing interesting going on. But also did I really expect to enjoy a book that is targeted towards children when I’m literally going to university this fall😃 but yeah maybe I would’ve enjoyed this 7 YEARS AGO when I bought it AS A CHILD. No hate to the author because the descriptions were nice and if I was a youngster I probably would’ve ate this book up. But as a young adult, forcing myself to read a children’s book just to not waste the $5 I paid at the book fair for it is truly a form of torture💀
