The Things We Do To Our Friends

The cover for this is absolutely beautiful and it drew me in, but unfortunately the story fell flat for me. I ended up DNFing this at 77% because I didn't care where the story was going or what was going on with the characters. I will give the author props for writing such a dark debut, but the main character felt like a classic “I'm an awkward and ugly weirdo, but everyone loves me for no reason” YA trope. I would absolutely check out what this author writes in the future, even if it is similar to this. I'm trying hard to DNF books I'm not enjoying this year, and unfortunately this is one of those books for me.






Thank you to Random House Publishing Group, Ballantine, Bantam, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
