jroseballard 's review for:

A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar

---

I appreciate the fresh take on a Titanic-set story: focused on a group of teenage girls with BIPOC and LGBT representation. A young teen looking for an adventurous novel with a little romance subplot would be happy with this. I was a little disappointed in the lack of levity. There is plenty for tension, teenage yearning, some tragedy—but no comedy to balance it. To me, heist novel = fun hijinks and a sense of humor, and that wasn’t really present here.
