Midnight Mass by Sierra Simone
4.0
dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Midnight Mass slowly does a recap of Priest main points throughout the book.  I felt Tyler was immature and downright disrespectful to Poppy at one point.  I was pissed she brushed that off.  He annoyed me throughout the book and made me want to get through it as quickly as possible to be done.  He's like a horny insecure teenager.  Also I felt there was a tease of certain characters, then they dropped away.  I saw a certain story line coming way earlier in the story, and was surprised it took a dramatic sentimental twist.  And that twist is handled extremely well, which is why I bumped this book to a 4 star.  And I appreciate Sierra Simone's personal explanation in the back of the book about it.  Well done.  I am happy to know what happened to them, but so ready to hear about other people.
