The Resemblance by Lauren Nossett
4.0

This books seems like it is written by someone with ADHD that rambles, and thinks way too much. The author goes off on a tangent way too many times, which is why this book was so long. It could definitely have been shorter. The details for informative, but dang, how much can Marlit express her biasness against fraternities. I almost felt like the author must be enamored with college youth, or had some traumatic experience that she can’t let go of. The plot is good and played out well. I didn’t pick up on the final outcome until about ⅔ into the book. However, the assumption in the beginning just didn’t warrant the level of investigation to come to the end conclusion. OK, book, well written, just too much. I received this book as a #NetGalley ARC. Check out my vlog to hear more of my thoughts.
