lbalestieri 's review for:
A Curse So Dark and Lonely
by Brigid Kemmerer
Yikes, that was... an experience. I feel so conflicted about rating what I just read. On one hand, I strongly believe that this was a bad book. I really disliked Brigid Kemmerer's writing style, the romance took almost 500 pages to develop but still felt rushed and unearned, and the story was a total snoozefest. Yet... I kind of liked it? This book was a fun read - almost like a guilty pleasure, and I would be lying if I said I didn't at least partially enjoy it. Maybe I recommend this book? Maybe I don't? Sigh.
PROS:
-Cerebral palsy representation
-GREY (it helps to picture him as Richard Madden)
-Occasional witty banter
CONS:
-The "not like other girls" trope (ugh this killed me)
-The tepid queer "representation"
-The horrid mess of an ending (pretty much the last 150 pages)
