Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert
4.0
3.75 I guess. Big yay for witches, female friendships and the underlying question of whether any of us every truly know our mothers. I love that shit. Ivys chapters were a bit annoying sometimes, which also wasn't helped but the incredibly grating voice of their audio book narrator. Dana's chapters on the other hand were incredibly interesting, and her narrator had such a wonderfully soothing voice. The entire witchy business was enjoyable to me, it was never explained too much and I don't mind that at all.
I can't believe I'm saying this about another book, but once again, the pacing felt weird to me. The middle moved so very slowly and then everything happened all at once towards the last stretch. The whole side story about her neighbour (whose name I have immediately forgotten, to be honest) also felt like too little too late, which seems to me to come back to the pacing issue.
