"The Gods Lie" doesn't know what kind of book it is. It starts out as a two-school-kids-who-are-both-kinda-loners-become-pals story, then it seems to become a summer adventure, then a family drama, then a romance, then something darker, and then at the end we get this semi-spiritual info dump moment about how "oooHHHH the gods lie to us!! They say things will be alright but peOPLE DIE!" If the plot had been tightened up a bit lot I think things would have been better.
The plot issues aside, there were just so many wtf moments in here that were just plain bad. First of all, we get to see a 6th grade boy come up behind his mom in the kitchen and proceed to grope her breasts. No explanation given, he just apparently likes doing this. 😬 Then there is also a moment when a character gets punched for trying to help another girl. The girl who gets punched is a tropey "popular princessy school girl" who is only treated badly because she is pretty. She offers chocolate to a school mate, tries to offer help to a girl in need, but because she is "pOpUlAr" she gets treated like garbage. Sure, the girl is a little prissy and talks about her hair a lot, but everything about her treatment felt off to me. Lastly, the end is so lackluster. No spoilers, but the resolutions are over in about 7 pages and just felt again like the author didn't know what they wanted to do with the characters, plot, or meaning.
My feelings on this are very much reflected in the Goodreads 1-star rating motto: "I didn't like it." I didn't hate it, there were a couple okay things, but I just plain old didn't like it. 🤷… (mais)
