SCORE: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Oh my God, this book is awesome. I couldn't stop reading it, even on vacations I just couldn't stop. It's mean and surprising and intriguing and it breaks your heart. Not sure I would survive this family or life. #bookinstagram #readingchallenge #mysisterrosa #justinelarbalestier https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzCb5Ljtz5/?igshid=14eqx8axktmw9

{ last week's library haul! I didn't even try to stop myself from picking up all these books😇 I'm excited for all of these, and I'm hoping to get to all of them before I'm moving out, which made me curious, and if I want to finish all my library books, I would need to read at least 350pages a day.... I'm very doubtful I'll manage that much reading (the holiday's season is my most busiest). • • • I'm currently reading Binti by Nnedi Okorafor and I'm loving it!😍 I'm more than tempted to buy all the books in the series and bing read the two others💕 • • • #mysisterrosa #weareokay #arushahandtheendoftime #middlegrade #beastlybones #bookaholic #bookstagram #mybookfeatures #libros #librosmiadiccion #currentlyreading #librosymaslibros #bookworm #booknerd #bookobsessed #bookish #booklove #bookishcanadians #bibliophile #cequejelis #livreaddict #livre #lecturedumoment #yalit #bookhaul #library #librarylove } (à Greater Montreal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQAyOhnqyP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bfwjn943xjby

Day 12 of #DABSummerChallenge is for mystery. I haven't read My Sister Rosa yet though I bought it when it was first release. I've heard it'll freak you out though! Have you read it? Do you think it's freaky? . #MySisterRosa #justinelarbalestier #aussielit #YA #mystery #loveozya

My Sister Rosa by Justine Larbalestier

My Sister Rosa is a deliciously chilling novel about humanity and/or the lack thereof. The protagonist, Che, is carefully crafted in a powerfully vulnerable way. He’s flawed and both recognizes and fears this. There’s something about the way Larbalestier crafted Che, that makes him one of the most relatable YA male characters I’ve read in a long time. His love for his sister Rosa even after her most evil acts brings to question the loyalty of family. 

This novel is so realistic it’s terrifying. There’s no ghosts, no vampires, no things that go bump in the night... simply a young girl with all too real negative human characteristics. Rosa is creepy, terrifying and so realistic you feel as though she could be just about anyone: even you. After reading this book I had a day or two where I thought ANYONE and EVERYONE was a psychopath. 

After reading lots of impressive reviews about this book, I expected to be on the edge of my seat the entire time. At points however, the book became slow. It began going over details I didn’t see as essential to the storyline. In fact, a lot of the book was simply about everyday life. Like a boring realistic fiction novel.

BUT..... the novel is still worth reading. Simply for the terrifyingly well blended work of literature that is Rosa. The girl who has ZERO empathy and could very well be the girl sitting standing next to you in line at the grocery store.
