This book was on my request list at the library, but I honestly have no idea why I originally put it there.

Regardless, it was a horrible book. Complete rubbish. There seemed to be no real plot or point, besides the main characters genius status in the area of math, and how this impacts her. Which we never really know, because all we ever read about is her studying, kissing a guy onc, then studying some more. To be fair there’s stuff about being a child of indian immigrants in Wales, but it was hardly compelling.

And the ending. That was the worst part. I’ll reveal it here because no one ever reads this blog, and frankly, anyone who does will likely never read this book.

She runs away to Brighton and, even though they locate her parents, gets put into foster care. Because she’s been abused. Because her parents made her do too much school work and too much math.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

That has to be the most ridiculous idea ever. Any forgiveness I may have had for the utter blah of the book was driven away by that.

Ugh.
