Panic
by Lauren Oliver
woweeee, I picked this book up on a whim, thinking it sounded decent and it definitely surpassed my expectations. It was a good read! By no means was it perfect but it was certainly enjoyable. The book is essentially about a dead-end town, where every summer high school graduates participate in the hush-hush and messed up game of Panic to win a load of moneyyyy. I enjoyed how the book shifted perspectives between the main characters. In certain books, this can be overwhelming but when done right, with just the right amount of new information it can be a great insight into the characters. This was the case here ye. I loved how you got to see the main character, Heather, change as a person and grow into this refined and brave new person over the course of the summer and this book. She was so scared and focused on why she wasn’t good enough, all of these negatives and insecurities, but throughout the course of the summer you could see how she changed. She became stronger, more confident and so much happier. It was actually
beautiful to read about. I was pretty much on the edge of my seat for the entire second half of the book, it was honestly wiLD. It’s terrifying to know how little you truly know about other people, and this book emphasised this above all. From Bishop who was secretly a judge and in love with Heather, to Dodge who was planning on killing Ray, to Nat who had some pretty weird ish going on throughout the entire book. I gotta admit though, I was pretty eh about Nat and Dodge getting together in the end, their relationship was a bit yikes. All in all, I really enjoyed this book.
