She dislikes most of her family members, as she believes that they do not care about her. The main character in Without Merit is Merit, a seventeen-year-old girl who has recently stopped going to school.
Although I am going to point out a few of the things that struck me as odd, I thought it was very fun to read and enjoyable overall. Some of the secrets were a little crazy, but I’ll unpack them all later on in the review. It was a story full of drama, so if you like reading about over-the-top family secrets, you will enjoy reading this book. I really liked how easily this book drew me in. Warning: There are spoilers in this review! When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.
Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.įed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her-until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. There are so many questions I have regarding this book and I wanted to be able to discuss them with those who have read it. There is no way I could have possibly written a review of this book without spoiling something. Hi everyone, I thought I would begin this post by saying I have decided to write a review with spoilers.
