The Year The Gypsies Came by Linzi Glass

2.0

As you can see from the rating, this book didn't really resonate with me. I didn't like the writing style, and the first hundred pages were uneventful and boring. Then suddenly, we jump into sex and rape and death. The transitioning was terrible. It was also predictable. I could predict what was going to happen in every major event, and hindered my ability to enjoy the story. The good thing about this book, is that it didn't romanticise rape and showed the emotional trauma that it causes. Overall, I feel like a didn't gain anything from this book, and wouldn't really recommend it.
