Beyond the Pale Motel by Francesca Lia Block
4.0
I won this on the goodreads giveaway, review to come!
I started reading this today, and finished today. This was an easy read, and a fast read due to the great story. For the most part I really enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because by about a quarter of the way through the main character, Catt, was already on my last nerve. I understand she has low self esteem, among other issues, but she was too insecure and whiny to be like-able. However that is my only complaint. I really enjoyed that Beyond the Pale Motel was dark, psychological, and a bit creepy. I was not sure if this book would be for me or not and I was pleasantly surprised. I have never read this author before and I enjoyed her writing. I thought the Love Monster blog and names for all the types of men was hilarious!! Very good read, and I also have to say the ending was spectacular.
