Play Nice

I loved loved loved Play Nice. Clio was my fave except when she was being a little brat. I feel like if you're gonna be a bitch then be about that life hoe!! Anyway her dad is an asshole. My WTF moment was when his bitch ass burned the book I was like yep that's all I needed to know. You did it you fucker!!! you're a liar!!! The step mom samsies I'm like own up to your shit you bitch. The whole time I was upset about how badly they gaslit the mom. FUCKERS!! I have 2 fave quotes that got me thinking in this one. PG 38 AUNT HELEN TO CLIO " Some people believe in God. A bearded man who lives in the sky. We don't call them crazy, do we?" Really made me think about how some people really feel that way. Why are we so quick to assume the ones that see dead people or ghosts and shit are the crazy ones but then people see Mary on a piece of toast and they make the news like it's normal. PG 138 CLIO ABOUT HER MOM "Maybe delusion is an eagerness to believe. A desperation for it." Got me thinking how we know so much about mental health but even with all we know we still know so little. The ending pissed me off because I'm like dude nobody else died. I'm an asshole I low key wanted pops to suffer!! Like wtf where is this story going I need more damn it! All in all 4.5/5 stars cuz of the ending.

I loved this book and was completely invested. I was a little disappointed at the end I felt that there were several loose ends and some storylines wrapped quickly with little explanation or follow up that I would have loved. But overall this is an awesome book for Halloween time period and really wonderful writing.

Perfect for an October read. Spooky and thrilling
