jessicafangs 's review for:
Daphne
by Josh Malerman
I wanted to love this book, but it never went there for me.
Things I did love the anxiety representation. I think Malerman always does that well. I loved all the references to town in his book. The fact that the town all were part of this and forgetting was interesting.
Problem is I am not a fan of basketball so that was not interesting for me to read. I didn't feel the characters were real which was hard to connect to them and care when all picked off. I could tell no difference from the teenage pov and the cops pov. It also felt like we never fully went with the legend, the history, and the towns parts. If that had been developed more I would have give this book top ratings.
Thank you netgalley for an arc.
