The Woods Are Always Watching
by Stephanie Perkins
3 stars. This was better than There’s Someone Inside Your House. I thought the plot was really interesting and there were a lot of tense moments and I even grew to tolerate the main characters, Neena and Josie, but the beginning was tough to get into and the ending was so anticlimactic that it left me feeling disappointed and underwhelmed in the end.
Neena and Josie felt like the same character. There was nothing that stuck out that made them seem like individuals except one is poor but smart and the other has money but is ditzy. Their bickering was annoying and I didn’t like either of them but once the action got started and they had to fight for survival I started to warm up to them a bit more. They go through a lot but they are such strong characters and I was impressed by how they didn’t crack when things were looking dicey.
The stakes are high and again, there were some moments that were very intense. I just wish the ending had been better. It wraps up way too quickly and neatly and I was left wanting more. Overall, this wasn’t bad at all. It’s nothing special but it was a quick read. I do miss Perkins’s contemporary romances though.
