*Short Review*
I picked this book solely because of the author. I really enjoyed her book, Dare Me (click here for review), so I went straight for this. Abbott has an interesting style of writing as she takes down difficult topics involving teenagers and adults. Unlike Dare Me, this book wasn’t as intense or surprising. It dragged with Katie’s monotone voice and overall dipping into the past to explain the present wasn’t as successful as other books.
I didn’t care for this book. It was missing intensity, strong emotion and a better scenery or at least a better description of the scenery. The characters didn’t provide the need support and it came off as if they were there for show. Their involvement wasn’t strong enough to keep the book moving.
The book was okay. It could have been way better than what it was. I was disappointed in this read but I there is another book by this author that is in my TBR pile. So, no hard feelings.
