alyram4 's review for:
The Burning
by Laura Bates
This is one where I want to rate it higher, but I don't feel that it quite reaches my expectations.
The book started off amazing! I loved the themes that went on here, such as bullying and slut shaming to name a few big ones. Once you get past that halfway point though, it starts to becomes really complicated and tries too hard. It kept focusing on adding more and more and more, but it never fully fleshes everything out in a way that is satisfying. While I liked how it ended, the way there was just a huge blur and way different than what I was experiencing in the beginning. Maybe some editing could help fix the middle, as right now it just has too much going on.
