My Review: 3 Stars
This debut novella shows a lot of author potential, but I struggled to find an emotional connection to the characters and their situations, as they remained two dimensional for me.
The story alternates points of view between Kendall and Greyson and I was yearning to dwell in each of their hearts and minds for time, but there was too much telling and not nearly enough showing for me, reading like a travelogue with a lot of the same details repeated. Kendall's had a rough life and things are finally looking up for her, but she's very insecure in her relationships and decisions. I wanted to watch the character arc in action, because that is one of my favorite things about stories like this.
I would have loved more information on the important things and events, especially character thoughts and feelings, while combining or eliminating the rest. I felt like there was too much detail on things that didn't matter and not enough on what did.
I loved the premise and idea of this book--it would make a beautiful story fleshed out more. Although there were a lot of grammatical/spelling errors, I still found this book delightful and I was interested enough in the characters and plot to keep reading.
