The World Cannot Give
by Tara Isabella Burton
3 stars. So close to being something really good but it unfortunately misses the mark. While the writing was decent, and some of the themes in this were interesting, a lot of the dialogue was very cheesy and none of the characters are fleshed out or memorable.
Laura is a blank slate of a character. Nothing stands out about her. She’s easily influenced and she never really becomes her own person in the end which I thought was an odd choice. The main catalyst of the story is Virginia and even she was underdeveloped and cliche. I didn’t understand why everyone was so under her spell. She had no depth and her personality was so dry.
The ending should’ve hit harder but again I didn’t care about any of the characters so I honestly didn’t care and I didn’t feel any type of way about it which sucks because it was pretty shocking.
I didn’t think this was terrible, nor did I hate it. It honestly had a lot of potential but it never really came together. Three stars for the writing, the themes, and the quick pacing.
