Last Girls by Demetra Brodsky
4.0
There was so much to this story that I didn’t see coming. And, it’s not the suspense, mystery kind of moments, but those of three sisters that surprised me more than I had thought they would. There was so much there that made up the three Juniper sisters, with each having a very different personality, but always the best interest of the other.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Whitlock. This isn’t about me, or you, or anyone. I just have to find my sisters. I know what I’m doing.’ I hesitate for a second and offer my best advice. ‘I don’t care what protocol is for this school. Don’t stay in this room. It’s harder for someone to hit a moving target. Get everyone out of here and make sure they run and weave.”
From that the reader can see this is going to be one doozy of a story. But, first and foremost, this is a story about family and what they’re willing to do to keep each other together and safe. The other half of this is how far certain groups will go to find their place, or a base for their beliefs, while doing the unthinkable and only caring about their own end game.
“She stares at me hard. ‘You don’t get what we’re doing, do you? Food storage and milking goats aren’t the keys to survival. We’re trying to figure out ways to survive when complete chaos hits, without hurting anyone, because they’ll do it to themselves. But we will take bigger action if needed.”
In such a short time there is a botched prep training, sisters trying to find their place in their newest surroundings, a secret that may lead them to the worst possible scenario, people that enter their lives with more than just a personal vendetta towards the Nest, and so much more that really makes the reader think twice about what might be around all of us. A surprising read I’m glad to have delved into.
