A review by sempiternal_books
The Mall by Megan McCafferty

1.0

I decided to read The Mall by Megan McCafferty in part because of the cover and in part because it's set in the 90's. So I shouldn't really be surprised that it didn't turn out so well. What started as funny narration quickly started to seem less humorous and more annoying and shallow. There were so many characters that had the potential to be interesting but none were given any depth or full backstories. The plot wasn't really that interesting and nothing about the world seemed real or substantial. The whole thing was just lacking in heart and connection. No part of this book felt really alive to me.

Special thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books to send me this ARC COPY in exchange my honest review.
