Last Girl Breathing
by Court Stevens
⭐️⭐Last Girl Breathing by Court Stevens
I was excited about this book because I live in the western part of Kentucky where she’s from and next to the town this novel is set in, if it weren’t a fictional town. So it was interesting when she would throw real things in the book. But that’s about it.
I found so many things about this book lacking. The plot was slow, predictable, and is a story that’s been told over and over. There was nothing new in this story. The characters were obnoxious and unpleasant. Lucy was so strange and mind-boggling. Her step-brother is murdered and she and Neil are constantly talking about the Olympics. Other tragedies are happening, and they’re talking about the Olympics. It makes no sense that that’s the focus of their lives with what’s going on. The other book characters aren’t much better. Tragedies are happening and the people affected are acting so apathetic and casual.
I hate to be so negative about a book, especially a local author. I finished the book in order to post a review but there were many times I thought about quitting. It just wasn’t hitting the spot.
