In Between by Jenny B. Jones
3.0
A light-hearted read with a somewhat interesting storyline and a few unique characters written in. I especially appreciated the grandmother- sometimes a little too quirky for believability, but still the character with the most entertaining background. I also liked Millie and James Scott as the author did somewhat well in creating tension between the two and leaving out certain details about their lives in order to reveal them later in the story.
I have to say though that my major qualm with this book was with regards to the writing style. It came off as trying too hard to be funny and quirky. I think it quite possibly could have been executed a little better had some of the constant stream-of-consciousness narration been cut out so not every paragraph contained some sort of witty inner banter.
Likely an enjoyable read for some, but I was sadly underwhelmed by its execution and it's probably not a story I'll be revisiting in the foreseeable future.
