Kill Me Softly
by Sarah Cross
So I picked this up because I was in a mood for fairytale vibes but honestly I should have just ate glass and put my head in the microwave.
Kill Me Softly is about a girl named Mira who runs away from her godmothers to the town where she was born and where her parents died: Beau Rivage. Beau Rivage is mysterious and it turns out full of magic and curses. There Mira falls in with some new friends, and falls in love all while trying to find out about her parents.
Dude this fucking sucked. It sucked so bad. We have reached levels of suck we shouldn't be able to reach but here we are. The worst part is that I KNEW this book sucked because I read it in 2012!! Why did I read this again then? I don't know!! I really forgot HOW awful this was.
This book is everything wrong with YA and everything that will ever be wrong with YA. I'm literally shocked this book even exists from how awful it is. Mira is awful. The love interests are awful. The plot, the world, the other characters, the writing is awful. The ending was so cheesy and embarrassing.
Mira is 15 and she runs away because she's dumb. She falls in instalove with TWO brothers that both want to kill her. It's literally insane how fast she falls in love with both of them and it's so funny when it doesn't work out with one, she jumps to the other and is like I lOVE you!!1
The vibe and the town of magic and curses is so OUAT and what drew me to this book in the first place but honestly it was so wasted. OUAT had messy writing but this was something else. A lot of it was being gross and trying to be extra but was just sexist and disgusting. Feminist is not a bad word but okay. Plus there were like three curses that were just reused and it was boring. And the fact that almost everyone ever was cursed was just ?? But why tho. Especially when we never get to actually see the mean fairies??
Most of this book is just Mira hanging out with her new friends going to the beach, hanging out at a coffee shop, and not actually doing a goddamn thing. Blue is so creepy and gross, fucking die pls. He randomly touches her and calls her sexy and she's like I HATE YOUUU but then is like haha nvm keep going ;) even while she is literally in his brother's bed. His brother by the way who was 21 and making out with the 15 year old he just met. She needed a place to stay and he instantly takes her in and they share a bed on the FIRST NIGHT AND HE FEELS HER UP. Hello FBI? This fucking predator right here.
Mira please choke. She really gets JEALOUS OF DEAD GIRLS and I don't know how to respond to this besides to shove her off a cliff. For some reason she buys a lingerie nightgown for her new bf (that she met the day before) and then in a fit of boredom she goes dicking around the casino in it (because bf owns a casino) and I'm just supposed to think that shit isn't weird as hell? "It doubles as a dress"?? Girl you are 15 years old go the fuck home this whole book is CREEPY. She pretends to be so mature but every single thing she does is immature as hell. I love how she is so called blessed with intelligence but a bag of rocks is smarter than this girl. She literally pouts, I'm not making this up!!
The most interesting character is the girl who pukes flowers and gemstones because I too wish to choke after reading this book.
