Starry Night
by Isabel Gillies
I was so disappointed in this book. I should have stopped reading at the 50 page part, but I had hoped that it would all turn out okay in the end. It didn't.
My hugest disappointed was the lack of consequences. Sleep with a man twice your age? Simply walk out of the party with your friends. Steal your friend's boyfriend/cheat on your girlfriend? End up in a relationship with "true" feelings. The only one who kind of had consequences was Wren herself. I honestly can't believe she gave up her biggest dream for a boy, who she'd only been seeing for 2 -3 months, asked her too. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Still she got into a different program; granted it wasn't France, but it was still a good art school. I won't even talk about how Oliver suddenly thinks Vati is the sun, just because he was told she liked him. But at least even Wren questioned how fast that one happened
I have issue with the pacing as well. It was much too slow for most of the book. The flashback Turtle events were cute, but felt kind of cluttered to me. Overall, the only thing I can really say is disappointed.
