literatureaesthetic 's review for:
Exodus
by Kate Stewart
I'm very conflicted with this book. There were elements I loved - the plot twists, for example, were amazing, they were so shocking- I'm obsessed. Exodus pulled on my heartstrings quite a few times, it was definitely emotional, which I also loved. However, I was not a fan of the writing style. I think that Kate Stewart tries really hard to create very poetic, lyrical sentences, and I'm sorry but it felt very cringy to me. The dialogue/speech just felt so unrealistic.
For instance, there was a scene, where the main character is having a very serious conversation with Tobias, the love interest, and they're talking about all the awful things they've been through. They are literally discussing the future of their relationship, and whether there actually is a future (so it's very serious, okay). And the main character deadass looks Tobias in the face and says, "I guess I'll always be that girl, crying for the moon."
