Take All of Us by Natalie Leif
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (9/10)
Characters - 8
I appreciated the MC's character development and most of the characters I enjoyed. There were two that I had to be patient with. One of them I enjoyed more as the story went on because I saw their issues and perspective, but the other one I still didn't fully like at the end because of their attitude and views on different things.
Atmosphere - 8
The atmosphere was chaotic, but in a good way. I was definitely on my toes with this one because it was almost like you didn't catch a break from the chaos. But despite the dark, eerie, and suspenseful mood, as well as the depressing and urgent tone most of the time, I really enjoyed the book.
Writing - 10
The descriptiveness was phenomenal and on point. I could imagine the scenes in my head vividly, so the emphasis on detail was perfect.
Plot - 9
From reading the summary, I thought it'd be a nice plot, but when I actually read the book, I was not expecting the plot to become more complex and loaded, in a good way. I feel like there could have been a little bit more though towards the end, but otherwise, the plot was intense and amazing.
Intrigue - 10
I was hooked from the first few sentences which rarely happens for me, and I kept wanting to read it to see what would happen as the story progressed. There was never a dull moment with this book and I appreciated that.
Logic - 8
For the most part, the plot and characters were logical. There were a few parts where I was like huh...why that or why this? But overall, everything made sense.
Enjoyment - 10
This book kept me in a good mood all day so I definitely enjoyed this book. The triggering elements and darker topics didn't bother me as much as I thought they would, and the progression from bittersweet to a nice ending was great as well. I wish the ending continued on because I really loved the book, but again, it still ended nicely.
