fooddruid 's review for:

The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey
3.0

Frustratingly written in parts. A lot of inconsistencies early on. Almost put it down multiple times because I found it so irritating.

Heavy reliance on the "bad thing happening but from a child's perspective, so they don't fully understand" trope.

There's multiple times when
Miv is almost responsible for uncovering something
but then
it happens off-screen
and its so frustrating! Like, she was SO close!

The last few chapters had me sobbing
and that's why I think it's been made Waterstones' book of the month, because all you remember is the ending.
