First, I would like to thank Hachette Book Group Canada for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!
Honestly I don't even know what to say about this book. It was good but at the same time the entire thing felt so weird to read! Right from the beginning you dive into this story of Elektra and her family who suddenly move away to a grungy area that is now supposed to be their home, without any explanation and I just felt so odd about it all.
This was a fast paced read, and I was curious what was going to happen next, but I felt like this book missed the mark for me.
You do see Elektra grow by the end of the book and you see the way she views the new neighbours differently as time goes on, but I feel like it could've been stronger.
Overall, this wasn't my favourite. I think this book was meant for a younger audience for sure, but I also feel like there could have been more to the story. Something to really pull me to one of the many characters in the novel.
