Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
4.0
There are trigger warnings in the very beginning so please read and take care of yourself.
There are two point of views and they are explosive. Jane and Reagan are two girls from completely different walks of life and the parallels that Haydu drew between the two main characters were absolutely amazing. The book was very timely.
The #metoo movement is still going strong and Ever Cursed takes that movement and puts it in a way that perhaps is a bit more palatable to younger audiences while not taking anything away. Jane was turning a blind eye towards everything until it happened right in front of her. The way that a lot of people often turn away until it affects them.
Which is probably why it took so long to sound the alarm. Reagan probably didn’t do it correctly but she did something. She was the catalyst. Ever Cursed draws a lot of comparison from the world. The vocabulary used reminded me of the discussions after the protests, that are still going on by the way, where a lot of people were saying that doing so many protests and doing some drastic things to bring unrest to the country wouldn’t amount to anything.
Both in the book and in real life, change was brought. It gives you a bit of an inside peek into the #metoo movement. I loved it.
