The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
Publication Date - October 8, 2019
3 stars
This is a strange book and I am having a hard time coming up with a way to express my opinions on it. About a community where the young women are sent away into the woods for a year to lose their magic, it has huge Lord of the Flies vibes and initially had me excited with its mean girls and strange behaviors. However, the early momentum loses steam and instead it turns into a strange romance with pacing issues and almost no backstory. I really liked the main character at the beginning but then she was so afraid of all the other girls and it didn't quite make sense. I guess in conclusion, I liked the idea of this book more than it's execution and I'm eager to see what other readers have to say about it. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
