The Loop by Jeremy Robert Johnson

3.0

I liked a lot of things about this book—interesting premise, some likable characters, exciting action, well executed plot and decent writing. A lot of this story takes place in the head of the main character, a 16 or 17 year-old girl named Lucy with a lot of traumatic backstory. I liked Lucy. She’s tough, smart and is able to tap into her past trauma for some of that strength. My only problem is that a lot of the time as I was listening to her thought process I just didn’t believe these were the thoughts of a teenage girl. It wasn’t all the time but it was often enough to be noticeable and it would take me out of the flow of the story. A minor complaint for a book that I actually really enjoyed.
