I Am the Swarm by Hayley Chewins
I Am the Swarm, by Hayley Chewins is a powerful and emotional YA novel written in verse. It's a tough read, not just because of its lyrical style, but also because of the heavy themes it tackles. It’s a story that sticks with you, though, even after you’ve finished reading.
The main character, Nell, is going through a lot. She deals with neglect at home and feels overshadowed by her older sister. The book explores Nell's inner struggles, showing how she’s trying to navigate her difficult situation while facing some harsh realities. The writing is vivid and poetic, which adds to the emotional impact of the story.
This book is a slow burn and not for everyone, as it deals with sensitive subjects. It’s intense and thought-provoking, but also beautifully written in a way that pulls you in. If you’re looking for something deep and reflective, this book will leave a lasting impression. Just be aware of the themes and check for any trigger warnings before diving in.
