Review of Sparrow by Mary Cecilia Jackson

          Disclaimer: I was given an ARC of this book from TOR/Forge Books via Bookish First in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to like this book after reading the first excerpt but I just couldn't get into this book, it was overly dramatic without a break.  It felt choppy and didn't flow in a way that made it enjoyable to read.  It could be that I am too far from my teen years to really be able to engage with this book but I feel that even if I had read this book when I was a teen I still wouldn't have been able to engage with it.

There definitely need to be trigger warnings at the beginning of the book because too many girls experience this type of abuse.

I don't think that I can recommend this book to anyone in good conscience.
