Stupid Love by Cindy Miles
3.0
My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
Disclaimers: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not obligated to write a good review nor did I receive any compensation for writing this review.
Why did I decide to turn the pages? The cover looked fantastic and I've enjoyed previous things by this author.
My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I really adored the book. It was interesting and stood out from several other New Adult books I've read recently.
I thought Cindy did a great job of creating quirky, entertaining characters who were enjoyable to read about.
The name Memory did throw me for a loop though. Who names their kid Memory?
The writing was fast paced, and I thought that the plot was interesting. Without giving any details away or spoiling anything, a lot of the plot reminded me of "A Walk to Remember." Now, I'm not talking about the ending--just the overall book. Girl who's sick who's only parent is a dad. Starts dating a guy. Doesn't tell him she's sick...you get the idea.
However, Memory was far from being like the girl in the book. She was a kick-butt character, a daredevil, and intense.
Major Strengths: Meaningful books and an engaging plot.
Major Weaknesses: Dragged a bit at times.
So why 3 stars? A fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed, but it wasn't quite of a 4 star caliber.
Can I read the series out of order? Yes, although be prepared to want to read the previous two afterwards.
Warnings/Side-notes: New Adult. References to sex (fairly vague) and references to drinking.
The Wrap-up: A book that I'm glad I took a chance on.
Love,
