acimnor 's review for:

Dare Mighty Things by Heather Kaczynski

4.0

*4.5
I read this one knowing nothing about it, and when I say nothing I mean NOTHING (not even the genre). By the cover I thought it was some kind of fluffy coming of age contemporary and was a little thrown off when the sci-fi revealed itself (in the most positive way).
I recognize that if I had know something beforehand I would had never pick it up (The Selection meets The 5th Wave...really?

Spoiler

(you aren't supposed to reveal the plot twist in the sinopsis, rude)

) but I had so much fun theorizing about the story and being moved around without any idea of what was happening that I'm choosing to ignore that there is nothing memorable about it and enjoy the good parts...(I don't even think I want to read the sequel, I have the feeling is gonna be too much "that has been done before" for my taste). And talking about tropes, that ending made me realize that I was reading YA dystopia in all the extension of the term, tropes included and honestly? I'm completely fine with it.
Overall this was a very fun trip in which I had no idea of the destination or the route. I wish I could enjoy more books this way, but sadly I'm too picky with my time to do that 🙃
