pickOverall I enjoyed the book, but I did struggle some with the characters. I think the alternating past and present chapters was right for this story, but I found it sometimes interrupted the flow too. The difficult topics were handled well and there was depth and emotion throughout that really carried the plot.

June #BOTM spoiler contains King of Ashes for anyone doing #CampLitsy!

My #BOTM box came while I was on vacation over the weekend! I‘m so excited to get into this because of all the hype around it! This was an add-on book for me and my main book choice was “The Names” because I really love a good dystopian story. Kind of bummed I couldn‘t get the cover straight on without missing out on the edges of this beauty!
FYI #BOTM peeps! Our August #CampLitsy25 choice, King of Ashes, looks to be a June BOTM pick! I think I‘ll cancel my preorder and get it here. Hope you‘ll join us then!

I love when #BOTM introduces me to a unique book that I may not have picked up otherwise. This is intoxicating and incendiary, capturing the intensity and impulsivity of youth. Séverine is a bright spark - a truly compelling and distinctive character who leaves an impression. What a ride!
So not only did #botm make me pay $3 for a special edition. I now have to wait all month to get my books…
I‘m not sure I would have actually gotten to them in May, but I‘m now worried they‘ll get delivered while I‘m away on vacation…
