When You Look Like Us by Pamela N. Harris
4.0
3.5 stars*
Thanks to the publisher for sending me an arc copy!
I enjoyed this book so much more than I expected to. I expected it to be slow and frankly boring, but it was anything but. It actually had me not wanting to put it down, which doesn’t happen a lot to me.
I became connected to the characters. I wanted to know what was going to happen to them. I loved the development and range of relationships in this book. The romance in this book was unexpected but thoroughly loved. We had deep family and friend relationships that built up the story. Everything was very life-like.
The pace was fast, and I was never bored with events. The timing and structuring of the plot was done very well. This book has the right amount of impactfulness and entertainment. There is a lot to take away from this story; it’s very inciteful.
I enjoyed the writing style of the book. It didn’t use complicated words to try and be fancy. It was easy to read but still gave me enough detail to be able to fully understand events and descriptions. The only thing I don’t like is that this book does curse a good deal. I would say it’s not YA. However, there isn’t really any adult themes except drugs.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed my time and I’m glad I read this book before the end of the year.
