The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis
3.0
'The Initial Insult' is a modern tale about revenge, losing ones parents and so much more.
I was super excited to get started on this book. It promised to be dark, adventurous and super interesting. The moment I read the synopsis, I knew I had to read it. However, my expectations were not completely met.
The main plot was super interesting but there were so many other things going on that just made it a bit confusing to me. Almost anything that could happen, did happen and it made an otherwise great story about revenge (and grief) seem just a bit too busy and hectic.
The Characters were expertly written and the history and dynamics between them were interesting and complex.
Overall compelling (although at times absurd) story about revenge.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you Harper Children's for the ARC
