ARC Review: These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly

24187925These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly

Expected publication: October 27th 2015

Set in gilded age New York, These Shallow Graves follows the story of Josephine Montfort, an American aristocrat. Jo lives a life of old-money ease. Not much is expected of her other than to look good and marry well. But when her father dies due to an accidental gunshot, the gilding on Jo’s world starts to tarnish. With the help of a handsome and brash reporter, and a young medical student who moonlights in the city morgue, Jo uncovers the truth behind her father’s death and learns that if you’re going to bury the past, you’d better bury it deep.

I loved this book so much. I loved everything about it. I loved the writing, the plot, the characters and, get ready for it, the romance. That’s right. As someone who always complains about romance in YA, I was blown away. Jo and Eddie are the real deal. Their relationship was well written and developed and real. And intense. I loved their bantering. I was so emotionally invested in this book. I can’t even begin to explain how this book made me feel. Jennifer Donnelly is an incredible writer.
Overall, this is a short review because I just loved everything about this book. It was amazing and I’m still out of my mind about the characters. This book took my breath away. I can’t wait for this book to be released because I need a hardcover to hold and hug. Definitely one of my top favorites of 2015.
