alexblackreads 's review for:
Exit, Pursued by a Bear
by E.K. Johnston
I was so excited to read this because I had heard such good things about it over the past year, but it just didn't do much for me. It dealt with rape sensitively. It showed the importance of a support system and how things can go right. It was all a little too perfect and neatly wrapped up, but that I could have dealt with.
But I couldn't get into the characters at all. The only thing that kept me reading the book was the mystery of who did it, which wasn't what the book was about at all. I just felt like I was being told what the characters felt instead of experiencing it. Some of the ways she described emotion were lovely, but it didn't feel true. The characters all ran together for me.
I really wanted to like this book, but the only thing that kept me going through the end was wondering who did it.
