Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King
2.0
I had high expectations after several people in my life raved about this dark young adult novel.
I wasn't impressed.
Overall, the style was "too much", the main character and plot difficult to lock on to, and in general, I have read far more poignant young adult novels.
The only reason Everybody Sees the Ants didn't get one star from me was the way the author describes the ants, and their importance. I won't spoil it, but that little nugget was well worth the two stars.
Otherwise, Everybody Sees the Ants had me utterly underwhelmed.
