The Thrashers
by Julie Soto
Happy pub day to The Thrashers!
Thanks, Wednesday Books, for the arc! Thanks, Macmillan Audio, for the ALC!
I don’t understand Julie Soto. What does she sprinkle in her books to make them so addicting? Her adult romances are the chef’s kiss. But for her first YA thriller, THE THRASHERS? Honestly, I think she just knew us PLL and Veronica Mars fans needed something new to feed us.
The number of twists made me dizzy. Sometimes, I was so sure I knew something, only to be fumbled entirely by a plot point that it felt like I was back at the beginning. Julie Soto is a mastermind in how she plots the book.
I loved that the book is about the Thrashers, a group of five friends, but it’s told from one person’s PoV. It was a strong choice to only heat just from Jodi as it elevated the suspense and made you question everything more.
I split my time splitting THE THRASHERS between the book and the audiobook. Eva Kaminsky and Jesse Villinsky are excellent audiobook narrators. You can’t go wrong with whatever way you choose.
THE THRASHERS is a fantabulous YA thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page. Then, you’ll be like me and can’t stop thinking about it after it ends! I only hope that we get more!
💭 I was 1000% a drama kid, what was your favorite club or sport in high school?
While THE THRASHERS entertained me, it is a heavier novel. Sujçjde, which happens in the first few pages, is a significant plot point. Check your content warnings and read with care.
