Untamed Shore
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
This might deserve a higher rating. Honestly, it's more me than the novel that knocked those two stars off. It's a pretty good noir thriller. It reads well enough: Moreno-Garcia paints a vivid picture with her words. I like the general plot and the basic ideas of it, but I just can't stand reading books where the plot relies on people doing really stupid things over and over to make it move forward. It's especially frustrating for me when the protagonist is smart and even says straight up that they know they're doing the wrong thing. It doesn't matter if the bad decisions are exactly the kind of bad decisions that an intelligent, lonely teenager would make. I just don't like that feeling of frustration.
