Lola by Melissa Scrivner Love
4.0
Ok this was a surprise success for me!
This is not my usual genre, however I chose to read it due to a randomized book selection I did with my friends. And honestly, I’m glad I did! I wasn’t sure how this was going to go over for me as it started. Gangs, guns, culture wars, drugs- all things I’m not normally itching to read about. However, in the past I have liked television shows on the subject so never say never.
What made this book for me is the bad-assery of Lola. Listen, we love a girlboss. When her role in the gang is revealed I actually squealed with excitement of what this meant for the book. I’m still thinking about the end of the chapter with the interrogation of Mila too. I actually gasped out loud!!
Sometimes it’s great to branch out in genres. Turns out I really can like anything!
I’ve already added the sequel to my TBR
