The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring

2.0

Ironically diaphanous, considering the subject matter; like a 456 page introduction. I can appreciate the twist at the end, it’s been a long time since I’ve been truly caught off guard by a book. Yet, the twist is also part of the book’s flaws because it was a painful cop out. After the initial shock wore off I was totally turned off by it. “Like really?” I found myself saying. Although not surprising that a book with barely any plot would struggle to find a plausible end; the “it all wasn’t real” trope was laughable. This book tried so hard to be something it wasn’t, and I can’t help but laugh looking back at the author’s overuse of uppity language only to end the story so childishly and base.
