Death by Society by Sierra Elmore

3.0

I’m a bit confused… Was there a part that I missed that would make me want Carter to be friends with the girls that tormented her and drove her to attempt suicide? I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I’m so happy about Carter being on the journey to recovery and rediscovering her hope for living. This story dealt with so many raw issues and in such a caring way. I will give the author her flowers for that but this ending was very umm interesting. Why am I supposed to forgive Abby and the other popular girls for bullying Carter for years? I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. Abby’s few month redemption arc and sad backstory doesn’t move me or excuse her behavior. Like this book would’ve been so much better if Abby felt what Carter felt for months and that’s why she finally rights her wrongs. Her character arc was forced and rushed. Maybe I’m just a vengeful petty person but I wouldn’t have forgiven these girls if my life depended on it. Sorry not sorry.
