I really tried very hard to finish The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett, but I just couldn't do it. This book just frustrated and confused me, and I just didn't like it. And I had such high hopes for this one too.
The first thing that irritate me about The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett was the main character, Hawthorn. I just didn't warm to her at all. She really grated on my nerves to be quite frank. She was very immature and didn't act her age at all. I honestly found her really weird and creepy, especially the way she obsessed over a girl she doesn't even know and claims to not even like. I don't think I've ever felt so unsettled by a character before.
I also found the plot extremely weird and I just didn't understand the point of it at all. The whole paranormal aspect of the story just didn't feel right. To be honest, I just felt the plot dragged and didn't feel that much was happening at all. I found myself getting bored and trying to force myself through this one, which didn't make me feel any better either.
I found The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett such a disappointment and I don't think I could recommend this book to anyone. Though, going by Goodreads, I'm definitely in the minority.
