Whistle in the Dark by Emma Healey
3.0
I won this book in a free draw!! Hooray! Winning things makes me feel invincible. Where's Wolverine? I could take him.
Moving on.
I appreciated that the end wasn't cliche or expected, but I felt that the entire book was too long and too focused on repetitive notions of unlikeable characters. There were a number of subplots that seemed to go without a payoff or were created to lead the reader astray in our predictions, but didn't seem to really go anywhere or have any reason.
An interesting idea and a quick read, but I wasn't fully satisfied with the end or the characters.
2.75/5
