These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch
2.25
adventurous slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'm... thinking about this one. I found it really slow to begin with to be honest and not very engaged with the characters, but then the ending? Wow - that last 100 pages or so was INTENSE and I suddenly started caring a lot more! Some really clever twists and turns; I loved them all.

But the rest of the book was so... meh-ish that I don't really know what to make of it as a whole! I feel like I need to reread it straight away to see if I can connect with the characters at the start, but I think I'll sit with it for a while and see how I feel.

Hmm.
