Coming of Age at the End of Days by Alice LaPlante
3.0
Many thanks to Netgalley and Grove Atlantic for an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Firstly I should say that I requested to read this book as the description really appealed to me. Unfortunately the book didn't grab me as much as I hoped it would. The storyline for me was a bit flat and the characters just didn't appeal to me. The only character that I vaguely liked was Jim Fulson.
Don't get me wrong the book is very well written, for me I was just expecting the story to be quite different after reading the description and to me I felt that the story was more about a girl trying to find herself in a world where she doesn't fit in and joining the church to find her niche in life.
Over all it is still a good read and it wouldn't put me off reading more by this author just for me I expected more of a thrill after reading the blurb.
