toffiladyreader 's review for:
Free Radicals
by Lila Riesen
thank you so much to penguin teen and colored pages blog tours for gifting me an early copy in exchange for an honest review!!
i have no idea what was i expecting from this book, but it was not this. a conversation about Afghans right in the middle of one of their crisis, another about mysoginy and how rumors can destroy you, the importance of a legacy and feeling that you have a home somewhere... my heart broke every time i learned something new about this family. and i could get myself in Mafi's shoes: it's the typical time in your life that you would do anything for a boy, just like Taylor Swift said: "for you i would ruin myself a million times." i loved the concept of the title and how it translated to little details in Mafi's life. it felt real in the reaccions, the thoughts and actions, driven by the desire of being unseen but seen at the same time. also, Brit is my fave character, i started shipping her and Mafi at some point because of their interactions but i loooved how their friendship developed and i loved their scenes together. and the ending... i was starting to think the author had decided to use the question "what is the worst thing that can happen?" a lot of times and i was genuinly scared for everyone
