The Sharp Edge of Silence by Cameron Kelly Rosenblum

2.0

13/14 year old me might have like this but 45 year old me struggled with it a bit. There’s a very important story in here but you need to wade through pages that are very dialogue heavy to find it. I got the distinct impression that this was written with an eventual TV adaptation in mind and feel it might be quite suited for that! The author states that this was inspired by a personal experience but I think it’s safe to say that Thirteen Reasons Why may also have been an influence.

Between what feels like 250 filler pages of mindless teenage chat, the excessive amount of characters and the fact I couldn’t get behind the adults response (or lack of) to a rape - this one just wasn’t for me.

2.5 stars
