The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

2.0

How many times can you hear one person blame them self for something? I mean, come on, really now. And, again, does their HAVE to be a love-triangle for a book to be successful? I suppose their was some redeeming value to the "confusion" behind that love-traiangle, but please. It got kind of old. Fast. Reminded me of the relationships in the Mortal Instruments books. And was annoying. Wow. I Just finished reading it and am so ANNOYED! The first book was so much better. I feel like this one was 100 pages too long maybe? And, And, what's with the seeking permission to live her life from everyone else? There are two identical sentences Ms. Ryan wrote about conversations with her mother about how she felt like she was just given permission to . . . live. Feel guilty. Move forward. See the world in a different light. Think for yourself Gabry! Just a little bit. It isn't THAT hard. I mean, yeah, it's confusing being 16. I remember. The angst. Really. But not THAT confusing! And confusing like, oh, let me spend all of this time cowering in a corner, self-doubt, blah, blah, blah.

So Annoyed. W/ a capital "A."

(Just for clarification, I'll read Book 3 when it comes out next year. I didn't hate them. Like some of the characters. Like Elias. He isn't as drively and whiney as Gabry.)

Hurumph.
