A review by spacesheppard
Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid

challenging dark sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

There are aspects of this book that I enjoyed.  But at the end I was tired of it. Everyone is horrible to each other and the word "breasts" has no business to pop up as much as it does.  Main character has no personality for the most of the book. There is insta love and I can't tell one thing that they like about each other, except that they find each other attractive.
