Acts of Violet by Margarita Montimore

1.0

I received this book from Flatiron Books through a Goodreads Giveaway.

More than anything else I found this book to be incredibly boring. I can typically finish a book in 1-3 days and this one took me 3 weeks because I kept putting it down again. I kept waiting for something to happen and it never really did. The ending was unsatisfying and even from a science fiction perspective, did not make sense. The characters were childish and annoying. I kept forgetting that Quinn was supposed to be a senior in college because she is written like a 13 year old. I found the multiple perspectives and different media to be distracting and unnecessary. This book read like nonfiction, but of course it was all made up.

This was simply not at all what I expected and I had to force myself to finish it. Not for me, sorry!
