***3 Stars***
It’s taken me awhile to figure out just how I feel about this book and how to put it down into words. The first half of that equation I’ve come to terms with, the second is still in limbo, but I need to get it out of my head so we’re just gonna do a little verbal vomit-y thing and see what comes of it.
My issue is that while I did enjoy the book, it was an easy read to get through and low on angsty drama ~ which I was actually okay with ~ I still feel like I needed more from it because while there was some drama it was resolved quickly and relatively easily considering the circumstances and that’s why I’m stuck in limbo with this one. I liked the direction the author took with Tonya’s pregnancy, but I never got that emotional gut punch from any of the trials she went through. I mean I did feel some frustration for her and with her, but nothing overwhelming and that pretty much sums up the entire story for.
It was enjoyable, but nothing totally overwhelmed me on the emotional level.
Despite the lack of an emotional gut punch, I must say that I enjoyed the author’s writing style and voice. I was drawn in from the start and had no problem turning the pages. This is her debut novel and I see great potential in her writing and will be keeping an eye out for what she has coming out in the future.
