Devoted by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0
An empowering,coming of age story from Jennifer Matthieu, who is fast becoming the writer that I wish was around when I was in my teens if her books keep consistently being this damn good (spoilers ahead).
The characters, particularly Rachel are incredibly well developed in this book and seeing the relationship between Lauren and Rachel get stronger as they get to know one another and become friends is one of the most awesome and feminist parts of this book - there’s no judgement, just two people who get it and I love this book for the strong female friendship it portrayed.
I feel like the plot can move a little slowly sometimes, but it certainly picks up around eighty pages in and totally makes this book worth it. This book sucks you in slowly and then takes you on this emotional ride that you are going to need to take a breath for. Yes this book still feels like this book has probably happened, the best fiction lies in truth and Devoted certainly feels like the truth is there.
Another great book from Matthieu, I highly recommend this book if you liked books such as Autoboyography, it certainly feels it runs the same kind of lines.
