I started The Girl in the Road with high hopes, as it seemed right up my alley. Unfortunately, I was confused from the start. There wasn't a lot of world building, the characters weren't likeable or relatable, and I couldn't get into the story at all. Books like these are usually hit or miss for me because I feel as if they try too hard to be hard hitting and lyrical, gritty and yet poetic at the same time. These are the books that are often raved about in book clubs, but can be difficult to get into. I wanted to like the book and when I read the synopsis, I'm left feeling like I must have missed something because I didn't enjoy it and it seems like something I would have liked a lot.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review
