A review by shipwrecksteph
Girls Save the World in This One by Ash Parsons
Did not finish book.
DNF: made it about 50 pages in. I got this as an unproofed galley at NYCC 2019
I really wanted to like this. I should have liked this. It has everything I like. Female main characters and friendships. Girls kicking ass. Zombies. But the writing style didn't work for me. Each paragraph was barely a few sentences long, so I couldn't get into any rhythm. So much of what I read was describing scenery, much of it uninteresting. And most of it didn't matter to the story. And a huge amount of what I read was the POV character describing people we never meet. Why are you telling me this? I don't care. We don't meet the people in question.
This turned into a rant. I'm not upset with what I read. Just disappointed. I hate when books don't work out.
