A review by isabellarobinson7
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Did not finish book.
Rating: 1 star
What... what is the appeal with these books? It's just about this one weird girl who is enclosed by a circle of hot boys that all of a sudden find her attractive. I'm sure there's some fantasy elements in there that make the story interesting, but it's completely smothered by the absolute epitome of the "I'm not like other girls" trope, that even though I got a substantial way through and got to the magic and mystery and whatever, I was already utterly disgusted with everything the book was doing I could not bring myself to finish it! And this is the book everyone is losing their minds over! Has everyone lost their minds?!
