hannahgee 's review for:
American Rapture
by C.J. Leede
I really wanted to like this book. It had a lot of elements to pull me in, religious trauma, coming of age, finding your own sexuality after being suppressed for so long. Somehow this book still fell flat for me.
The virus was interesting. I wanted expecting the violence of the sexuality of this book. It was definitely jarring. I felt like the MFC was suproisingly nonjudgmental for her upbringing, but at the same time kept making decisions based on her religious upbringing.
A main plot point of this book was the MFC’s insistence on getting to her twin brother despite the danger. That was incredibly annoying as the reader. But then we get to the end of the book and she still hasn’t been reunited with her brother. The book felt really long at times and repetitive. And then to have the ending seem so open was a disappointment.
This was like a 14 hour listen and I feel like I could describe everything that happened in five minutes. Also I knew the location they were describing in the rock house with the carousel, but only the carousel part. So I got the gist of the place but that was a really confusing location to describe and took way too long to describe it.
Overall the book wasn’t a total flop, but I don't think I’ll be recommending it to anybody.
