The Antidote for Everything by Kimmery Martin
3.0
This book felt a little uneven. First it felt like it was trying to be a romance novel, then a thriller maybe? There were way too many pop culture references. I don't know why people think that helps a book. In general, I liked the story once I figured out what it was about, but it seemed to accidentally get there.
One convention this writer used that annoyed me was to be like "She saw the very important thing that changed everything" and then didn't tell the reader what that thing was until later. That's a lame way to try and keep me reading by making something a mystery that doesn't need to be. It's not the "what" that's interesting, its the "why" and how it makes the characters relate to each other.
