A review by inconceivably
Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz
1.0
When I was asked to be a part of this book's blog tour, I was really excited! I'd seen a lot of reviews - both good and bad, that made me very curious about the story. I started reading the book expecting to immediately be caught up into Noah's story.
Unfortunately, I was not. In fact, I kept putting it down and forcing myself to try getting into it again...but it never worked out for me. I just couldn't find anything appealing about the characters or their story. Nothing about it falls within my realm of experience, and I couldn't really find anything about any of the characters to make me feel invested in them. All the characters were diverse and complex, which would normally be a very good thing - but I just never found connections to them.
I know this isn't the case for everyone, because there are a lot of positive reviews out there! I don't want to go into specific plot details since I don't have anything positive to say. If you pick the book up, I want you to make up your own mind without my ideas about certain particulars floating around in your head.
One thing I can say is that the writing style itself was good. Hannah Moskowitz has a really insightful way of writing...I really wish I could have appreciated it more with characters I wanted to read about!
Anyway, this was just not a book for me.
