Bonfire by Krysten Ritter

4.0

I saw some harsh reviews of Bonfire and I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I thought this book was great! Sure, part of me enjoyed it because I imagined the main character to be Jessica Jones without her powers, but I also think that Krysten Ritter nails the small town feeling. My only complaint about the story is that it felt that she had been away for more than 10 years. As in, she occasionally alluded to aches and pains and people getting fat and "oh gosh we're so old now," but the characters were only 28... They occasionally acted more like 38. But other than that incongruity, I loved it. Very thrilling and hard to predict. I liked the pacing especially!
