Backlash by Sarah Darer Littman
3.0
The book was better than I expected, but I don't exactly love it either. I'll admit that it wasn't bad and it was written in a way where we're able to learn about different characters and learn their motivations behind certain things.
There are a few POVs in the book, but I think the author did it well.
We have Lara, the girl who tried to kill herself.
There's Sydney, Lara's sister and we see how Lara's actions directly effect her and her family
There's also Bree, the reason Lara tried to kill herself and we see her thoughts as she did what she did, but also how she was effected after people found out.
Liam is Bree's brother and we see how what Bree did effects him and his family and how he struggles to forgive her, but feels bad for her at the same time.
I like how we were given insight to each character in a way that makes the reader feel a mix of emotions concerning all the issues at hand. I couldn't feel any sympathy for Bree, though, she deserved everything she got. She's a bitch, plain and simple, and never stops being one.
3 stars for this one as it was kind of boring.
