The Circus Train by Amita Parikh
3.0

I thought this book was just… fine. The story was interesting enough that I decided to stick with it to the end, but it wasn’t until about halfway through when I realized why I just wasn’t loving it - the writing. This book, to me, read like a YA book in disguise. And I LOVE YA books, so it’s not that they’re just not for me, it’s that the writing level of this book is, in my opinion, too simplistic to tell this moving story. It all felt kind of basic, and I wanted just…. More. So over all, 3 stars.
