A Danger to Herself and Others ~ Alyssa Sheinmel ☆ Review
Heyy look who picked up a 2019’s release WITHOUT it being an arc.
Iknow- shocking eh ?! 😱
I was scrolling my libby app onto what I felt like reading, and this one looked interesting.. Like i’ve said in my Bujo post if you read it, I was actually really surprised that my library actually had this current year’s “new” release available! (although it was what, 10months later?)
4 / 5 Stars
The story starts we have no idea what happened to Agnes; Only that it was an accident while our MC and her were playing a game of Truth or Dare, and somehow that lead to Hannah being institutionized at a mental hospital.
The story take us to Hannah’s “day to day” into that intitution, where we get little flashbacks of how things were before she got there, aswell as parts of what supposedly happened. I actually really like stories like this, where it takes you directly into a character’s thoughts and feelings — making it seems so much more personal and cosy in a way.
I gotta say though that I wasn’t expecting that book to have that cannotation; which was more of a “mystery” while I was gone for a “contemporary/Ya/not THAT” type of novel? ahah 🙈 No idea how I got that feeling from the summary but anyway, I do love mysteries too so that was no big deal.
* This story gave me a « Supermarket » (part two of the novel) by Bobby Hall feel to it.. The same environment and the same “shocker effect” that we didn’t saw coming [well, I didn’t anyway]. Having loved that book, it was kinda nice to be reminded of it.
