Always Jane by Jenn Bennett

teri_dost's review against another edition

2.0

Nikdy jsem si nemyslela, že bych knížce od Jenn Bennettové dala tak nízké hodnocení... ale stalo se - a nebýt toho, jak autorka zvládla napsat hrdinku trpící afázií, dala bych téhle knížce hvězdičku jen jednu.

Mezi problémy patří třeba premisa díla, která mi jde proti srsti (podvádění je prostě špatné a je úplně jedno, jaký je ten druhý kluk - pokud s někým nechcete být, tak se máte s dotyčným prostě rozejít), strašně rychlý konec, který je na mě až moc sluníčkový, a spousta nevyřešených věcí... jediné, co to jakžtakž zachraňuje je čtivost, kterou Jenn Bennettová prostě umí na jedničku.

Knížky od Jenn stojí za to... jen tahle ne.

This one didn’t quite work for me. I didn’t feel the magic I did with her early books, especially Anatomical Shape of a Heart (aka Night Owls) and the glorious Alex Approximately. A half star rating of 2.5 would probably be accurate, but I’ve rounded up because this is definitely not as bad as some of the books I’ve given 2 stars to! But it hovers somewhere between “it was okay” and “I liked it”.

In retrospect, had I realized that the autho was Jenn Bennett I wouldn't have realized it as all the book I've read previously from Bennett have been pretty bad for me.

Horrible characters, bad romance, really not interested in reading anymore from this author.

3.5 stars. Would have been four but I didn't care for

Spoiler

the cheating storyline.

Also this cover is hideous. I miss the style of her other books covers.
