🏠REVIEW/LFL DROP🏠

⭐⭐⭐✨

📖Title: Mercury
✍️Author: Amy Jo Burns
📅Pub date: January 2, 2024

💭I have so many thoughts on this book and I’ll try to make them as concise as possible.

😍Here’s what I loved:

-All of the mystery(ish) plot
-The three brothers and their relationships with each other, especially how their names rhymed (little details like that add a lot to a story for me [Bay, Shay, and Way= perfection])
-The prose itself 👌

😬Here’s what I didn’t love:

-The order in which the story was told; I really think this could have been better if the story was told more linearly or at least more consistently back and forth
-Marley…I know, I know, but I just never found her character enchanting or even realistic
-The mama drama (Marley and the boys’ mom)

📖Overall, this had so much that I really liked and that is RIGHT up my alley. Amy Jo Burns can definitely write incredible characters and I will be looking forward to what she puts out next!

❓Do you own a LFL or have one close by you? Do you ever find anything good?
