![]() ![]() And while Bee wasn’t my fave character ever, I actually enjoyed reading the book from her eyes, her perspective. I mean, and not to sound super judgey … but usually when characters are named “Beatrice,” that they won’t be all that fun. The ending was also beautiful and completely took me by surprise, while having been totally built up in a appropriate and realistic way. ![]() The magic/fantasy wasn’t strong, but it was there. We never get a full explanation of the magic of it, but I loved it. Something else that I wasn’t expecting (which was basically everything, lol) was the fantastical element of it. It shows us how this group of teens can actually go effing crazy, repeating the same day over and over again with no explanation and no idea how to escape. It takes the Groundhog Day trope and, while it doesn’t do a 180 with the idea, it definitely made it interesting again. Still, I gave it a shot.Īnd let me say, I’m sure glad that I did. I thought that I had heard of it before, but I wasn’t sure. Picking up this book, I had absolutely 0 idea of what it was about. I don’t know how many of you have read/heard of it before, but please please please try it! And if not… It is a magical realism mystery book and oh my stars, is it fantastic. I was at my local library (where I spend a reasonable amount of time there, ie all of my time) and I just randomly picked this book up: Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl. ![]()
