⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars
Every book I read and review starts off in the same way, by me saying that each book starts off with the full passport of 5 stars and that I'm always hopeful that they will all still be stuck firmly in place. I'm not shy about removing stars but I always give my reasons for doing so within the review - they don't just vanish.
This is a short story of only 48 pages so the author has got her work cut out to get the full load of stars!
I'm already at 20% and the first star is coming off for use of a couple of brand names, potentially without permission, so in fairness to past books which have had stars removed for the same reason, we are now down to 4 stars.
This is such a dull book that the teen reader it's aimed at would have given up by now, let alone an adult. There's very little speech and the writing is just so boring that it's a struggle for me to read. The second star is coming off at 58% and I'm grateful that it's such a short book so that I can hopefully finish it instead of giving up after only a few chapters. Down to 3 stars now.
A disappointing end to a dull book. It had so much potential that the author just didn't use.
