Little Monsters

I am by no means a psychic but I can tell you right now how Kacey’s future is going to go: (view spoiler) And who could blame her?
Just two months ago, I wrote in my review for 13 Minutes that I need to stay away from mean girl book since it didn’t work for me. Yet here I am, writing another review for one, ha! I’m glad to say though that Little Monsters worked much better for me.
This one was a combination of at lest two true crime cases that I could tell. The pacing is too spotty to be straight up suspenseful. Especially in the middle, it was quite tough to get through, so I don’t wonder at several DNFs I see on my feed.
I guess the book was adequate overall: the plot was good, the characters were... just okay, but the writing was solid. When it wasn’t dragging its legs, the book flew by and I actually finished in two days which was a surprise for me, seeing as I haven’t been reading that much this week due to lack of concentration.
Kacey and her self pity way, *sigh* I have a note on my kindle that read: “Is this the fucking time?? Jesus Christ Kacey!!” (view spoiler)
It was bizarre how Kacey kept thinking she’s evil and there’s something wrong with her. Why? Because the fight with her mom got physical? Because she didn’t get along with her mom? Because she broke things (aka throwing tantrums) since she was little?? She was emphatic about it too. So much so that I thought for the whole book that we would find out about her past and what she really did that make her so ‘evil’ in the end. Spoiler alert - nothing. It’s really weird.
The audiobook version is better. Although I’m biased because it was read by one of my favorite narrators, Phoebe Strole.

I've been meaning to read this. Hopefully get to it soon. Going to try the audio I think. Great review!
Great review, Lainey! So far I've read only one mean girl book 'What Girls Are Made Of' and I really didn't understand it. But whenever I read sypnosis of a mean girl contemporary, I think that it would be the best book I'll ever read. :D

Oh thank you Diane! Yesss I totally second the audiobook for this and I hope you’ll enjoy 😉
Hiba - thank you Hiba <3 Oh you and me both my friend!! It has that lure that pull you in right?? LOL. To be honest tho, I think this time I will definitely stay away from them for a while - I mean I haven’t found one of mean girls books that I actually love, you know?
