Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J. Bick

3.0

I'd really rather give this a 3.5 instead of a 3, but Goodread's doesn't do that. Ah well. Its a very interesting read for sure and had me stuck to this book until I finished it. I would definitely recommend this book to people. What I would tell them is that it is similar to 13 Reasons Why without the utterly sad emotional overbearing. While reading it, I was enamored with the story and needed to know the truth. After finishing it, I was left with more questions than answers and I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for the main character or mad at her. I also feel that the story tried very hard to be just like 13 Reasons Why, but comes up short. I don't feel for the character as much nor did I need to stop reading at any point because it just got emotionally overwhelming. Long story short, if you are looking to read 13 Reasons Why, but just can't bring yourself to read it because you're not a fan of ridiculously depressing stories, read this one.
