Em & Me by Beth Morrey
Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.

Just not for me. I wasn’t drawn to keep reading and I hated the energy of everything going wrong when she was just starting to take chances.

I found it super off putting when Delphine and the narrative just breezes past Em talking about being manipulative as if it was like cute and good… Plus taking Letty’s book??? What????

3.75

Really enjoy the perspective and energy of the authors. A bit too much gore/grizzly detail for me though.
