![]() Love interests are around, but they’re realistic as can be given the circumstances. I mean, yes, some chivalry is there, but mostly the girls save themselves (and save the boys sometimes too). ![]() In case you haven’t guessed, the main reason this book works for me is the estranged best friends! Learning to work together again for survival! Their love/friendship must overcome all! Plus they are kind of badass (not unrealistically so) and though there are two boys in the story, the boys don’t take over the action and the girls figure out/plan how to get out of the bad situation themselves. Which it is if John McClane were two teenaged girls who haven’t spoken in nine months and four days. In fact, on Goodreads, I said the book was like Die Hard. It’s an action novel that hinges on two former best friends learning to trust each other again so they can survive. For another, it’s more plot- than character-driven which isn’t normally my thing.īut. ![]() For one thing, the alternating first-person narrative isn’t distinctive enough (Sera and Ariel sound exactly the same). Let me just say that I know (I know, I KNOW) that The Girl in the Wall by Daphne Benedis-Grab isn’t the best written novel. ![]()
