The Tenth Girl
by Sara Faring
One of the worst feelings when you're dying to read a book is when you're finally able to and it is such a let down for you. That's exactly what happened to me with this one. Typically speaking, I try to be more forgiving of debuts since it's the author's first work, but I can honestly say that I don't know what I read. The best way to explain this story is walking in on an inside joke that no one wants to explain to you, and it's up to you to figure it out when there's literally no help.
The plot is confusing and honestly really difficult to explain. There's two timelines with two different POVs, but I'm not so sure that the timelines are different since there are events that happen at the same time. One POV is Mavi, a new, young teacher. The other in Angel, which is a crystal being. I basically equated it to a poltergeist of sorts.
People talk about the twist that comes around 75%. Honestly, it didn't help me. When I finally got to that point, everything was so confusing and disorganized that I just didn't care what the explanation was at that point.
I think this one had so much potential, but the execution just did not work at all.
