Sweet Harmony by Claire North

5.0

There is so much to say about this book! Claire North truly achieves greatness in her new book! She had let me down a bit with my last read from her, I saw that she try to introduce social criticisms, but the story suffer from it a lot, getting buried by her ideas. Here, she did both right. Providing a solid and fun story while still presenting a magnificent portrait of everything wrongs in our modern world. Over consumerism, fake plastic appearance, unrealistic beauty standard, overachieving and the need to show-brag about it, getting buried into debt for something we don’t need and not even want, credit system that encourage vice and unhealthy consumer habit and so much more. How does she fits all of it in a 120 pages novella, I don’t know, but she did brilliantly! The writing as usual is good, maybe even a bit better, I think she might continue improving. Still a bit of struggle in the ending, the resolution of the main story, but her final touch, the last direction her story end, going into, is just awesome! I highly recommend reading it! Claire North is an author worth discovering and reading and with a short novella like this book, this might do a nice entry point for readers. Read it!
