sarakomo 's review for:

Girl Underwater by Claire Kells
2.0

2020: I really did not enjoy the timeline format that this book used. I found it to be jumpy and it diminished the power that the climax could have had (in my opinion). That being said, the book narrowly avoids a 2 star rating by having Avery end up with the CORRECT man (not that that is what actually matters in this story) and the subtle Boston College shoutout on the final page (and Anna’s Taqueria!!)

EDIT: Moving this down to a 2 star rating because I’m pretty sure it actually doesn’t pass the Bechdel test and I just can’t stand for that.
