A review by dtaylorbooks
I Am Margaret Moore by Hannah Capin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

Where did I stop reading? 20% in

Why? Between the florid writing and the military school jargon, I kept losing the plot. I was only able to half keep up with the jargon because my husband went to military school for six years, so I got some of what they were talking about (although his was army, not navy). The writing was incredibly redundant too, just circling back on the same jargon, the same points about being Marshal girls (I’m still not sure what that even is), and about something that happened the previous summer. There was no tension, the plot never seemed to move forward, and I never really got a sense of any of the character because I kept losing them too in all the superfluous words. It’s unfortunate because I loved FOUL IS FAIR. This one feels like an experiment that didn’t quite work out. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
