The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney
3.0
This review is kind of going to be all over the place because I had a love/hate relationship with it.
This book hooked me right from the beginning which had me wanting to read on to figure out what happened to Alex. Speaking of Alex I thought she was just an ok main character. I wish she was stronger though because she always had her sister and her best friend/roommate always convincing her to make the right decision. I know I can't relate to Alex but if something like that happened to me, I would contact the police immediately.
I liked throughout the book she started to remember what happened to her and be able to piece together the night. I liked how the author had her memory in italics because then it showed the reader what was going on. I have to admit at times it had me confused because sometimes it just came out of no where in a chapter.
Throughout the whole book I was just waiting for the trial because I wanted to know what was going to happen with Alex. I felt when it finally got to that part is was so rushed.
I found out that this book is a series and I wish the author just ended it with this book, not sure why there has to be another one. probably won't read it but I think fans of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson will really like this book.
