A review by shelles_shelf
In the Likely Event by Rebecca Yarros

3.0

This book would have been better if Izzy wasn’t such an unbearable character. I found her savior complex infuriating. She continued to put herself and others in harms way for self motivated interests. And in an attempt to redeem her, they throw in the rescue of an all girls Afghan chess team, an interpreter, and their families. Which just felt so….icky to use painful POC stories to get you to like the FMC. A lot of unnecessary content to paint her as a do-gooder fell short. She seemed insecure, selfish, and entitled.

Cutesy at times, but not my favorite by a long shot.
