Hello bookworms! Today's review is about a YA debut novel called The Legendary Shiver. I would like to start off by saying that I was contacted by the author, J.H. MacAl for an honest review. Thank you! That being said, everything stated is my own and honest opinion. Now let's get into my thoughts! The Legendary Shiver is a YA contemporary novel that is centered around Will and his best friend Ruby who is on her way to stardom in the music industry. The novel details their experiences and all the troubles that come with being famous and following your dreams. Since I don't read very much about celebrities and stardom, this was a book that was definitely out of my usual reading genre. The writing was well done, however there were multiple spelling errors that detached me from the story. I enjoyed the descriptions used, and aside from the errors it was easy to follow. The plot of this book was fast paced and kept you interested in the characters and their lives. It is mainly focused around Will and his love for Ruby, which he keeps hidden. I found Will to be entertaining but my favourite characters would have to be John and Keysha. While Will and Ruby were at many times self-centered and confused, John and Keysha were always there to support them. In my opinion Ruby is very immature and at many points I was constantly questioning Will's choices. Since there was many plot twists happening in the book I found them to be sometimes rushed, which diminished my enjoyment while reading. The aspect of the music industry was something I enjoyed and it was entertaining to learn more about marketing and public image. It also speaks to the harsh reality of living in the spotlight with pressures to succeed. If you want a quick, fast paced novel about celebrities on their rise to fame, this is one you could check out. Overall this book was a 3/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐. That was my review of The Legendary Shiver by J.H MacAl. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I love supporting Indie authors and can't wait to continue in the future. What's a book you read recently?
