A review by mehsi
Verdermeer by Tahereh Mafi
I read, or tried to read, this one in Dutch, but will write a little bit in English. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2016.
I got to page 100+ and I just couldn't read any further. Endless descriptions that just tired me. Instead of seeing the world, I just saw a blur of rainbow puke (since everything was supposedly so full of colour). Poetic words that sometimes don't bother me, but in this one it did. Pretentious, fancy words/language that just didn't fit. I didn't like the MC, she was just meh to me. Olivier was even worse. Our MC's mom was terrible.
