The Grimrose Girls by Laura Pohl
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
Pretty Little Liars meets fairytales.
1.) There's too many characters and names and useless backstories. I don't care when this random person came to the school, I don't need to know entire histories. Just stop
2.) It's really hard reading about a character with OCDc guilt, and a dead best friend - it hits too close to home and I relate far too much than I care for.
3.) I love YA but this is the textbook definition of YA - it feels like a clear rip off of Pretty Little Liars and the personalities of these characters are too on the nose for their fairytale counterpart.
I made the mistake of finishing PLL I won't make the same mistake again.
