The Corey Effect by Casey Dembowski
3.0
I received an ARC of this text from NetGalley for an honest review.
The Corey Effect follows Andi Scott, a 28-year-old Communication Manager who has experienced her full load of hurt throughout her life. Andi is determined to make something out of her life, however with a life changing event, and her boyfriend being a jerk and forcing her to go and do things she doesn’t want to do – she returns to her hometown to find that life continues to move on for everyone even once you leave. After 10 years, her friends have married, gotten divorced and married again, not to mention the ever-growing list of children that now fill the friend group. The thriving businesses they developed, the rekindled relationships… shall I go on.
Andi has to decide what she wants in life now, as she learns that everyone in her life – even her own mother has been lying to her and mistreating her.
This book for me was a pain to read. I felt it dragged through storylines, and there was no real relief. Not one character was enjoyable start to finish, all having moments when I wanted to yell at them for choices and this made me feel like reading the book even less.
