Delicate Monsters
When I finished reading this novel, I had to ask myself, what did I just read? I guess I was lost with where the novel was going. I found myself caught up in the drama of Sadie, Emerson and Miles but what exactly the whole novel was about, it had lost me.
I knew that two of the main characters were not your typical teenager. Sadie is evil and she enjoys messing with people. The more corrupt a deed is, the more inclined Sadie will perform it. Miles has a unique gift. Miles gets visions, dark visions which typically transpire. His recent vision includes himself and this scares him. Emerson just wants his last year in high school to be normal. Having a brother who is far from normal and Sadie back in town, Emerson is beginning to see that this school year is not going in his direction. These three young adults have a past and there is a dark spot that lies within it. May is a girl who Emerson likes but I kept thinking as they meet up, is this really a relationship or just sex? I really didn’t care what happened to any of the characters, it seems that they went into each other’s life but the drama was nothing that I could hold onto. They were characters in a book, characters who could have been part of an interesting story but I just did not get it.
