The Mockingbirds was an incredibly interesting novel. A student collective that runs trials against student crimes? Sounds pretty fabulous. I felt at times it was hard to get a grasp on who our main character, Alex, really was. I know that she enjoyed playing piano, and that she got date raped (whic...
It’s a hard issue to deal with. There are people pointing fingers and many different accusations being tossed about but when it all comes down to it, there are only two people who really know the story. This issue in Daisy Whitney’s novel is date rape and the parties involved are Alex and Carter. ...
Rating: 2 Stars/DNFHere's the thing about Daisy Whitney's The Mockingbirds - if you aren't invested in the characters and if you aren't a fan of the way this issue is handled, you'll likely not enjoy this book. Now, that isn't to say it's a bad book - at all. In fact, I'm more than a little thrilled...
My expectations were a little high on this one, so that might be the reason I was disappointed with the book. Many booktubers raved about this book, and I admit that I didn't dislike all of it. First of all, I really liked the concept of the story, of having a vigilante-ish group address a serious i...
So I had heard a lot of good things about this book. But I forgot about it for the longest time. Then one day, I saw it on the bargain shelf at Chapters and remembered it was supposed to be good, so I picked it up. It's a relatively short read, just over 300 pages. Surprisingly, I actually read it s...
I think that this book dealt incredibly well with the very sensitive and powerful topic of rape. In a lot of books, I feel as though the book expects the "hero" to stand up for themselves, like the white tree of Gondor never waivering standing alone an fbrave,.. But that can be really untrue! There ...
You can read my review at Notes in the MarginI have to say I expected a little bit more from this book, after all, Marissa Meyer gave it five stars on goodreads. However, I was disappointed to find that the writing was rather green and I feel that the author really did not handle the subject matter ...
I was a little hesitant with this novel at first. These types of stories are usually really good or really, really bad. Having never heard of this author I wasn't sure which category this would fall into. I'm happy to say that it was pretty good. The story didn't blow me away by any stretch. But I l...
Though the characters could possibly have been a bit more developed, as a whole, this book was great. There are so many YA books out there that glorify abusive behavior and the like, and I love, love how this book handled date rape. I only wish that Alex would have gone to the police, but that's jus...
