While this book had some good parts it does have the tendency to ramble on which in my opinion would have been better if it got compacted in shorter bits, so now it got just an ok from me.
Then there is a thing I start to hate because it happens in a lot of books, and this one is no exception:
Somewhere in the second half of the book something major happens, which often involves violence, a kidnapping, a big accident, a suicide (attempt) you name it.
Somehow this leads to the Mc('s) realising their love or whatnot and they get a big happy ending.
Is this a marketing strategy because it sells well?
Is it the authors lack of imagination for character development?
Is it trendy to do this?
Is it derived from so many movies and other written stories, where these kind of major events happen 'all the time', that it seems to be lacking in intensity, action, suspense, ...something, for the author if it isn't included?
I don't know;
What I do know is that it often doesn't add anything to the story for me, and nowadays it even comes as a big disappointment because I would've loved to read how the MC('s) would have ended up without this major event.
This book, as I said, was no exception. Even worse, it was a totally random event which got rid of an important side character. Why was this necessary?
So now it gets only 1 star from me.
