Add a Commentthis book made me cry at the ending but made me so angry when book two was in publishing this book is one of my favs it's one of Suzanne youngs must-haves
Girls With Sharp Sticks sets its focus on a girl attending a school made for perfection. Along with her friends, she questions the life around her and what normalcy truly is. This is a great thriller with a surprise twist that will suck you right into the story!
This is a powerful and impactful read for lovers of dystopian thrillers. An intruiging plot, well-developed characters and the right amount of suspensful moments will have you on the edge of your seat! You'll be left questioning what it means to be human...I highly reccomend it!
A powerful and engaging read that examines the casual and powerful structural sexism that lives in everyday society and poisons our world, told from the point of view of a fierce, curious and passionate heroine. Surrounded by a group of friends whose love runs deeper than science can understand, the girls battle for their freedom against oppression, as well as each other. Read it in one sitting, because it was that damn good.
amazing, suspenseful read!
Read this book! Once I read the first page I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. It is disturbing and eerie in a way that makes you so worried for Mena and her friends that you become so connected to them. I can’t wait for Girls With Razor Hearts.
