The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum
Did not finish book.
DNF page 62. What the fuck. This is awful.
Um?? Trigger warning for bullying?
Hate the main character, who is the bully (along with her friends) but acts holier–than–thou about it even after she majorly fucks up, and the plot is very convenient in ways that make no sense. Even worse, she's bullying this girl to "save her" from being introverted and quiet. The adults don't act like adult at all and just turn an blind eye to everything that's happening. If my dad let my bully into my room and get all up in my business while I'm in the hospital from an injury I got from said bully, I would strangle him :)
Sometimes there is nothing to fix to make yourself feel better about yourself and the best you can do is just leave the person you've wronged FINALLY ALONE instead of inserting yourself even more into their life against their will, and that is the case here.
I don't care if they fall in love later, I'm not on board with this lazy bully romance, of which there was absolutely no mention of in the description at all. Which is so upsetting.
How is this written by the same person that did "The Wicker King"?? I am speechless and disappointed.
