A review by keberwick
Providence by Jamie McGuire
2.0
Jamie McGuire, why have you failed me? Okay, maybe not failed, but this certainly isn't on the same level as the Beautiful Disaster series.
Nina meets Jared while reeling from her father's death. Nina soon begins to realize that Jared knows way more about her than most people do. As her father's former associates begin to show up out of nowhere, Nina begins to question what she knew about her father and what role Jared plays in all of this.
Bleh. If you couldn't tell, I don't exactly approve of the whole "stalker-becomes-lover" bullshit plot. That's literally my only issue with the book. Nina is a fairly okay role-model in the sense that she's very determined, but she's not willing to see things from other perspectives. I just can't bring myself to be okay with the way that Jared and Nina's relationship begins. It weirds me out. It's reminiscent of Twilight, and I'm not down with that.
The writing of Providence is just as good as the Beautiful Disaster series, but the plot just bothered me so much that I really can't bring myself to recommend this book or to continue the series.
