The Murder Game

Carrie Doyle

Did Not Finish

Life is too short to continue reading this book which was a mental slog from the moment I started it. Doyle didn’t seem to understand how to write teens or even male characters and all the adults were being way too frank with the lead to the point where it seemed like maybe she was more interested in the divorce drama between the principal character and his ex wife than what the teenage protagonist was getting up to.

I’m not sure how this ended up on my list. But I think the cover is neat. So there’s that at least. And the mental freedom I felt when I finally stopped torturing myself. My god. The way this book drained me.
