In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

3.5 stars. Probably a 2 star in terms of actual logic and depth, but the entertainment value was high enough to carry this whole book on its back in spite of the general lack of everything else that makes a book really good. I absolutely hated the main character, and though I am extremely pissed off that she got away with everything and rode off into the sunset with no consequences at the end, with her mediocre and personality-less "love interest", and all the characters (and their relationships) in general were super one-dimensional, I was very entertained the whole time – which in the end I guess is pretty much the only thing I'm looking for with books like this.

Honestly, its kind of like watching an episode of “Jersey Shore”. I never would want to hang out with these people, and if I think about it too much I hate all of them, and by extension the narrative for not punishing them in a cathartic-enough fashion – but if I switch my brain to the right setting, watching insane drama from irrational people is very entertaining, and that is worth something.
