I'm the Girl by Courtney Summers
3.0

3.5– thanks to Wednesday Books for the review copy!

This was addicting, and that’s saying something since I’m currently in a reading slump and this was the first book to break through! I enjoyed how short the chapters were and the writing style really helped me continue to turn pages.

Overall though, the story just wasn’t what I expected and was a bit underwhelming in the end. The main character wasn’t very likable and some of her decision making frustrated me immensely. The plot is also very uncomfortable to read at times, so make sure to check the trigger warnings before diving in!

TW: rape, murder, suicide, death of a parent, physical and sexual assault
