Brutal Game by Jo Brenner
4.25
challenging dark hopeful mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I don't know how Brenner keeps doing it: making me fall for seemingly irredeemable characters. Jack is about as awful as you can write a character, and yet, he also has a pretty epic redemption arc. And I love Aviva's dedication to those she loves, and her ability be both forgiving and badass. I can't wait for Isaac and Tovah's book - Brenner just keeps getting better and better! 💞
