My High School is Cursed by Monica Rosehill #bookreview

Lonely girl Alex has always kept the world at bay with her headphones, a boatload of anxiety and the joking thought that her high school was cursed. When her little sister begins spouting ominous warnings and she starts dreaming of a stranger with her own face, Alex realises her private joke may not be a joke after all.

As the fairytale her grandma used to tell gets progressively more real, the past Alex didnโ€™t know she had is catching up with her. Enemies she didnโ€™t know to fear are making their moves. Friends she didnโ€™t know sheโ€™d made are coming to meet her. Magic she didnโ€™t know was real is disrupting her normal. But despite her new problems, itโ€™s a normal she canโ€™t bring herself to want back.

My High School is Cursed is a YA urban fantasy with plenty of humor, magic and a little romance on the side.

My Review

This is a fantastic book that captivates the reader and would be perfect for young teenagers. The pace is faster but it doesn’t feel hurried because you’re taking things one day at a time and one step at a time, which I really appreciated. With the help of her friends, Alex, the main character, defeats the bullies she faces. Topics explored in the book include anxiety, bullying, loneliness, and high school anxiety.
