![]() ![]() ![]() I loved the diverse cast, the concept of the seven deadly sins as a theme for each characters struggle. The formatting of the novel also threw me off big time. ![]() I even felt the amazing writing style that I have come to expect had dimmed significantly. It sort of picked up in the second half, but I still didn’t get that hook I was hoping for. I put the book down repeatedly due to lack of interest. I really struggled with this novel, and it’s doubly disappointing because I really loved all her other title. For the seven unlikely allies at the heart of it all, the collision of their seven ordinary-seeming lives results in extraordinary change. When that scandal bubbles over, and rumors of a teacher-student affair surface, everyone starts hunting for someone to blame. And like every high school, every student has something to hide-from Kat, the thespian who conceals her trust issues onstage, to Valentine, the neurotic genius who’s planted the seed of a school scandal. It’s got the same cliques, the same prejudices, the same suspect cafeteria food. ![]() Paloma High School is ordinary by anyone’s standards. Love the themes and experiment in formatting but the delivery was lacking. ![]()
