A review by jcnfia
The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

3.0

I think this is more enjoyable if you can remember that it’s a YA dystopian book. I think I had too high of expectations after looking at reviews, because the truth is this was pretty formulaic and safe. I always felt a few steps ahead of the author as she set up somewhat introductory feminism, conflict, and mostly flat characters. The romance aspect also felt very out of place and disingenuous. I think if this book’s main objective is to be an entertaining dystopian YA book with feminist themes, it does an okay job. I was just left wanting a little more than it could give.
