In Case You Missed It by Sarah Darer Littman
2.0
... Well. I guess this type of book just isn't mine anymore. I'm sure I would've liked it two or three years ago, but right now? I can't say I did. This book is about a girl, Sammy, who wakes up one day and find that all of her thoughts are online, due to her family's computer's hacking.
The plot wasn't bad, let's be honest. I even think it was quite good. But the way Sarah Darer Littman wrote about it... I don't know, it was just childish and unrealistic. The characters didn't have any personality, I didn't feel anything while reading the book, and the beginning was really, really slow.
Also, there were themes like racism, misogyny, the danger of Internet... that weren't well talked about. It wasn't deep, it wasn't touching. These issues were just tackled, not dealt with in depths. And that disappointed me.
All in all, I think this is a book for people around 12-15 years old mostly, and I think it missed some really good scenes while focusing on boring ones.
