A review by ominousspectre
The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz

2.5

Okay listen. This was bad. And I kinda knew that going in. It's like when you seek out a B flick horror movie because this is not the time for art house themes, this is the time for rolling your eyes and hehe'ing. And that's what this book was for me.

The twists are obvious. Everyone is a horrible person besides Kiera and Poppy. The social justice topics are very heavy handed, it's like the author wrote someone saying an off colored thing specifically so the protagonist could be like that isn't right of them! Now let me explain my thoughts on the subject and how I am still learning 😌☝️ because I am not like other white girls

The scene where they introduced each other was so insane, like I know I would've gotten misgendered like crazy in there.
also Kiera deserved to kill Taylor specifically for that comment she made about slavery


But did I have a great time? Genuinely yes
