Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
4.25
My personal opinion is that it is a 4 star book, but I acknowledge it's probably worth a bit more than that so 4.25 it is.
I felt conflicted, sometimes uncomfortable during the book. I couldn't really tell where it was going. I stopped trusting any of the characters, and found them all immature in their own ways.
I wondered whether the uncomfortable feeling was meant to be the same uncomfortable I had when I read Yellowface - a really good story-telling uncomfortable, an uncomfortable that I enjoyed! Maybe had this book's blurb and title alluded a bit more to the content of this story, then maybe I would have enjoyed the plot more.
The ending was apt, and I'm glad it ended as it did.
