Constellation of Scars by Melissa Eskue Ousley

Rating: 4 out of 5.

So it took me a minute to really process this book before I reviewed it. Probably because of the mental whiplash it gave me!! I wasn’t loving it and then I was, then I was confused… all kinds of stuff!!!

First of all, this pearl thing had me interested from the start!!! I may be a weirdo but I seriously would love to see how that works!!!! Ahhhhh!!

Second, Amelia was such a cutie! I really liked her sweet, people pleaser personality. 

*****minor spoiler alert***** I also love Gabe!!! How adorable was he!!! I love how he clearly loves Amelia!!! I am hoping there’s a sequel just so I can see them come together. It would really be great!!! 

There was something off about Peter from the beginning. But for a while, I thought maybe he was just a jerk. *****minor spoiler over*****

Anyway, my point is, the characters really add to the story. 

Third, that plot was soooo intriguing!! For a while it was like watching a car accident unfold. Can’t seem to look away!! Then it went at breakneck speed to the end. The whole book was smooth and easy to read. And that ending!!!!! Ahhhh!!!! 

I also like the nod to Bluebeard by Charles Perrault  This story has been an interest of mine for a long time. I think I may actually have to read it now…

There are so many questions that I have about the ending, which is why I chose four stars instead of five. But if there’s a sequel to add to this, I might just have to change my rating to five stars!! I guess we’ll see.

I recommend this to YA lovers. And to those who love oddities. 

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Midnight Tide Publishing for allowing me to read this for my honest and unbiased opinion.
