Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth

challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

Sapphic, gothic horror with dark academia vibes. 
Pros
  • The narrator was my favorite (hilarious and talking to you specifically) I recommend the audiobook! 
  • I enjoyed the creepy crawly bits (the yellow jackets)
  • Loved the atmosphere and the writing
  • I liked the multiple points of view. 
Cons
  • It was trying to be too many things. 
  • the ending was so boring.. nothing even happened??
  • Too long for no reason. 
  • No diversity (barely any POC)
