Behind The Picket Fence
by Kori Jane Spaulding
This is a story about Mallory – a clinically depressed teenager who can’t seem to find any aspect of joy in her life. The story follows Mallory along with various other characters that are related to Mallory, like her parents, siblings, friends, and boyfriend. Each chapter occurs across the same timeline each time, however we get to see the varying perspectives of everyone that is involved in Mallory’s life.
I liked the overall message this book sent, but I was bored reading it by mid-point. As the timeline is the same for each chapter, the story felt quite repetitive. We are essentially reading the same story from different perspectives. I had high hopes for this book as it was the author’s debut novel. I’ve also been following the author on Instagram for a very long time and really enjoy her poetry. I rated it a 3.5 (generously).
