A review by stormywolf
The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett by Chelsea Sedoti
5.0
I'm a sucker for any narrator with sass. Give me a witty narrator with a sense of humor and I'll read whatever they have to tell me. One obsessed with werewolves didn't hurt either.
I found this book a blend of To Kill A Mocking Bird and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Hawthorn was simultaneously innocent, native, imaginative, an outsider, and coming of age. In some parts I wondered if she might be on the spectrum, but it didn't really make a difference either way. I loved her analysis of things, and I can definitely relate to not thinking on the same wavelength as most people.
An interesting slice of life, coming of age, self discovery story for the modern era, with a bit of mystery and magic woven in.
