A review by emmareadstoomuch
Panic by Lauren Oliver
2.0
why is this book suddenly becoming a tv series?
this weird, overlong, largely forgotten about paragon of the Slightly Mysterious Contemporary genre that was so popular in 2014, a heinous year where your only choices were the aforementioned niche and Dystopian Knockoffs Desperately Attempting to Attain the Success of the Hunger Games.
this was not good to me even in 2014, when i was 16 and had no taste and read whatever i could buy at target.
god, i miss the finances of 16 year old me. no rent, no groceries, just an influx of under the table untaxed babysitting money i could freely spend on mediocre books and Halloween-esque bags of fun size candy.
anyway. even then, when everything was good, this still wasn't.
almost impressive, in that way.
this is part of a project i'm doing where i review books i read a long time ago. this one was provoked by my utter befuddlement upon seeing a trailer for this show.
