essjay 's review for:

Six of Sorrow by Amanda Linsmeier
3.0

I 1000000% requested this ARC bc of that cover and the mention of Yellowjackets in the blurb. It was...not at all like Yellowjackets, sadly, more like that newer Pretty Little Liars spin-off that I never finished watching. 

And I almost didn't finish this book. At about 15% I was ready to DNF, didn't touch it for a few days, and then came back and read the rest in mostly one sitting. Honestly, part of why I continued reading was bc of how annoyed I got with the descriptions of coastal Louisiana (basements? in-ground pools? on an island in Black Bay, which is losing islands constantly due to global warming and rising sea levels? come on, now), but then I turned my brain off completely and just tried to enjoy what was left. And I mostly did.

 It was fine. But I still think Yellowjackets is a fucking terrible comp.
