A review by fatanyu
Lurkers by Sandi Tan

4.0

Although this book handles a lot of dark topics, it was not as bad as I expected from other reviews. All of the characters are simultaneously likable and hatable. Tan does a great job of showing both sides of what it is like to be human; the good qualities we portray to others and the dark secrets we try to keep to ourselves. Although this is a more character driven book than plot driven book, as others have pointed out, the plots of each character are still interesting in themselves, and the ways that the characters are intertwined deliver small plot twists as well. Overall, I was thoroughly interested in each character and genuinely enjoyed the way that they were written.
