![]() I loved the idea and enjoyed the mystery and the hunt, but other than Pet, I just couldn’t connect to any of the characters or even the world. I seem to be in the minority here, but to me, Pet was an okay read that had potential but almost seemed like it tried to do too much and somehow, at the same time, did too little. It’s a story that reminds us that monsters can have many faces. Pet is the story of a girl who lives in a perfect city where monsters were driven away years ago … or so they thought. Maybe I just enjoy watching perfection collapse and burn while I sip tea and perfect my villain laugh in the background. I’ve really been in a dystopian mood, which is what first drew me to this, because I love seeing “perfect” societies fall into ruin. In their riveting and timely young adult debut, acclaimed novelist Akwaeke Emezi asks difficult questions about what choices a young person can make when the adults around them are in denial. Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend, but also to uncover the truth, and the answer to the question-How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist? Pet has come to hunt a monster, and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption’s house. But when she meets Pet, a creature made of horns and colours and claws, who emerges from one of her mother’s paintings and a drop of Jam’s blood, she must reconsider what she’s been told. With doting parents and a best friend named Redemption, Jam has grown up with this lesson all her life.
