Dead School

Arc provided by NetGalley.

Firstly- THIS BOOK IS SOOO MUCH FUN. Please drop all of your self-administered literary professor caps and enjoy how original this book is. It’s so fun and playful, with a way of reminding me of an anime/manga.

Dead School – Girl dies, while falling off a stage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, girl then goes to dead school! ¯\(º_o)/¯ where she finds out that she has failed her life path. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

A mountain of shame ensues ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽…… well more denial.

That’s all I got up to. Not because I didn’t like it but I lost my NetGalley copy and can no longer download another to finish it.

Writing – the writing is not fluffy at all – there is no political correctness here. The story is told with a sense of humour and isn’t afraid to be un-lady like. Tina has a potty mouth. Which really surprised me because this reads like a middle grade because of plot, characters and writing but the language used does not suggest it. So example: people get called Bimbo, hooker, fat.

I will say that I did not enjoy some of the themes in this book. Tina was very judgemental of others and I did not like the fact that completing suicide or drowning counted as failing your life path. I found it a bit insensitive (－‸ლ) If you want more on this then there are many reviews expanding on this through NetGalley and Goodreads. (ÒДÓױ)

I’m not going to go further with my review because I find that unfair as I never finished it, but I definitely would have.
