Summer in the City of Roses by Michelle Ruiz Keil
3.0
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I'm just going to say it loud and proud right now. Summer in the City of Roses was such a weird book. Don't get me wrong, the first half of it completely sucked me in and I was enjoying the adventures that Iph and Orr were going on. I was also super invested in their little reunion because of what went down in the beginning. Then I get to the half-way mark and it just kept getting weirder and weirder.
It honestly probably got weird and confusing way before that part but I was so engaged that it didn't even matter to me. Once I started to realized how things weren't even making sense to me anymore.. well, that is when I was like..
Lots and lots of WTF is going on here kind of moments for me. I'm still not even sure how to understand the actual ending of this book. Things just didn't make sense to me. I tried to understand some of it but in the end.. I will just stick to not knowing anything.
Overall, it was an interesting book with a weird ass ending.
