Here Goes Nothing by Steve Toltz
4.0
4.5 stars
I LITERALLY JUST WROTE A 4 PARAGRAPH REVIEW ON THIS APP AND IT RANDOMLY CLOSED OUT BEFORE I COULD POST IT. so shorter review i guess :(
loved loved loved this book. toltz’ writing was beautiful and i found a lot of it very insightful and relatable, especially regarding parts pertaining to faith and the afterlife. this novel had a slight dystopian aspect to it which was unexpected and very amazing. gracie is my favorite character and she did not deserve her fate.
the main thing keeping this book from being a 5 star read was the part in between the climax and the end. it felt very underdeveloped and generally weaker than the rest of the novel. the climax was insane and very harrowing, the ending was brilliant and i loved it (i genuinely did not expect it to end that way, plus the slight title tie in gave me chills), but the part in between fell flat.
shout out to katy for buddy reading this with me!!!
