acaciathorn 's review for:
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe
by Wren James
Well this book certainly revels in its own sadism. Savors it, really, like a vintage wine.
It's a shame, because the cruel "twist" completely overshadows the poignant parts of the narrative. It takes something profoundly relatable - loneliness and vulnerability - and then goes completely off the rails into cartoonish horror movie territory. It cleaves the story into two disjointed halves, neither of which feels satisfying on its own. It's not a payoff. It's a waste.
What an unpleasant experience.
