A review by rainzephy
Something Awful by Cindy Paul

4.0

mlm, mexican-american main character (not own voices) and black side character.

cw: abusive parent (physical abuse and homophobia)

[also one kiss scene (very short and not descriptive) and cursing.]


this is the first thing that i have ever supported on kickstarter and i'm so happy i did because i really enjoyed reading this!
it was a really quick and fun read and i liked the repetitive kinda poetical sentences and words that were used. also the monster felt very real in this book which i liked.

i think the only thing that took me little out of the story was how it took pretty long until the characters understood why the monster behaved the way it did. for me it was pretty clear early on so i wished the reasons for the monsters behavior would have been different or that the characters would have realized it earlier.

i'll definitely read more of this authors books in the future!
