Crave by Maria Llovet
3.0
Summary:
What would you do if, one day, a mysterious app appeared on your phone, promising you the romance of your dreams? Most people would probably know to be cautious about such a promise. But what about a group of college students who have yet to experience the real world?
Well, they're about to learn the hard way as the app walks them through increasingly drastic steps to get what they want. But will what they want prove to be worth the cost? It's time to find out.
Review:
I'm not going to lie – I 100% picked up Crave to read because of that cover. It's stunning! I knew right away that I would love Maria Llovet's art style, and I was right. While I didn't end up loving the whole of the story, I did appreciate the art the whole way through.
Crave is a dark sci-fi with a tech twist. There's a life lesson woven into the tale, which I appreciated. That said, I feel like we needed more time to meet the characters before they were thrown into the app-deep end. We go from zero to sixty very quickly, and when these people we hardly know begin making extreme decisions, it's hard to know how to feel about it. It's even harder to support them (though maybe that was the point?).
The thing I love the most about Crave is how unique it is. Okay, I loved that second best – the art still comes in first. While the moral of the story may be similar, everything else about this book resonated with such personality, and I loved that.
Highlights:
Bright Art style
Romance/Erotica
Tension
