When I Was You by Amber Garza

4.0

I read this book to get myself out of a reading slump.
It was excellent for that. I would actually say I rated this 3.5 but rounded up to 4.

I enjoy the intrigue, the mystery, the twists. I enjoyed how quickly the book was paced. I enjoyed how the characters stayed true to their arcs.

I wouldn’t consider anyone in this book the “hero”. None of the characters are especially likable and I wasn’t ever rooting anyone on. I was just along for the messy ride.

This isn’t a masterful work of art, but definitely speaks to my lifetime movie, desperate housewives as a guilty pleasure self.
