This is WAR by Lisa Roecker
3.0
This book, was alright. It wasn't stunningly brilliant (in fact some of it was quite drab to be honest) but it was readable, I didn't even cross my mind to put it down before finishing. Aside from the prologue from Willa's point of view, it starts off incredibly boring. Yes, there's been a murder. Yes, people are lying. Yes, there have been bribes. But it tells us instead of shows, everything that you need to know is spoken out loud leaving no doubt about what's happening. The inner monologue is basically repetition of speech - especially Rose's.
•Rose was so much more interesting in other people's POVs. When you were actually in her head it was extremely dull. Other people made her seem more exciting.
•Sloane's chapter was my favourite. Some people here are saying that it was their least favourite or unrealistic, but I actually know some people like this, so it was a bit more relatable.
•Most other POVs focused on one problem, and it continued for the next few chapters without pause. Not very interesting.
•Throughout the book they complain about how the Gregory family get away with everything because they have money. Then a few hours later, they're getting revenge on the Gregory family, mainly because they have enough money to do so. Hypocrites.
