The Monsters We Make by Kali White
3.0
This is pretty run of the mill stuff - with the added bonus of being inspired by actual events. It’s like a bloated episode of Law & Order, complete with the police violently accosting an innocent man at the 3/4 mark. The character should have been named Red Herring, it was so obvious. Now, I’m not a big fan of Law & Order but it’s entertaining and so is The Monsters We Make. Clunky but entertaining, three stars.
The narrative voice sounds like it’s from 2020. There’s very little to cement its place in the mid 80s. It feels very much like someone talking about the 80s instead of living in them.
One of the main characters has a disability but it never seems like more than a superficial application to make them special. The young woman is intelligent, driven, caring and something about the narrative seems to say of she wasn’t nearly blind, she’d be just a girl.
No spoilers, so I’ll only say the conclusion is a cacophony of coincidence.
