After reading Behind Closed Doors and feeling like the odd ball out on that one, I decided to give this authors work another go, so I picked up Bring Me Back. And unfortunately, this went even worse.
Bring Me Back is filled with one dimensional, flat, annoying characters. You root for no one, and roll your eyes at everyone. The main plot point was interesting, but the “twist” was so beyond unrealistic that it took all the enjoyment out of the reading experience.
I think a big issue of mine with this authors writing is her telling instead of showing for a lot of things and then the repetitive nature of it is well. For a 300 page book we got the explanation in the beginning of the main character believing his missing ex girlfriend is back after 12 years and then we watch them dance around each other for the entire book. It makes what should be a fast paced book feel drawn out and repetitive.
I really wish I had liked this more but I guess you can’t win them all. 🤷♀️
