sasanka 's review for:

Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen

2.0

---

I found the beginning so long and slow, full of the popular and rich kids just drinking and partying, it was too long and over the top. The middle was horrific in terms of the degree of bullying and religiously rooted homophobia. It was painful to witness, in a way that just made me uncomfortable and felt more like a caricature. The ending was so short and somehow all that homophobia just kinda went away?? Idk... It felt too neat. And Hannah deserves way way better.
