This book doesn't disappoint, with genuine characters and some unanticipated thrills
|
This book was more than fine (I thought the title was pretty cheesy, but in retrospect ends up suiting), an above average 3 stars. I recognized in it some of the good things I enjoyed in "Come and Get Me." This author has a good grasp of internal character voice. You get drawn in to their emotion and lives. Their actions and conversations are supported by their thoughts.
Overall, this offering was a tad uneven for me. I enjoyed that I didn't see the twist at the end coming, as another review said likely because I was so captivated by the romance between the main characters, but at the same time I was kicking myself that I hadn't even considered it. Still, the ending seemed slightly rushed to me, and the plot a bit choppy. There was so much emotional gold to mine in approximately the last third of the book that it could probably have made an entire book on its own. Instead, while parts were given the proper weighty treatment, while preserving the sweetness of the relationship, I felt lost (not plot-wise, but rather I'd lost connection with the book) more than once.
Still, this is an above-average author. I really like what she does with characterizations. The execution could have been smoother. Some things could have been drawn out more, and others dwelt upon less. Occasionally I wanted to shake the characters and tell them to snap out of it. But if you read this book you will enjoy it. It's got hurt-comfort elements, deals with familial relationships realistically, and involves characters who you like, and who act reasonably based on motivations that are laid out well by the author. |
