One Way or Another by Mary J. Williams
2.0
When I first read the book description of ‘One Way or Another’ I got super excited about this book. I’m an only child and have always loved stories about siblings and especially sisters. So when I got approved to read this book I couldn’t be more excited. It took me a little while to get to this read though. But better later than never.
In ‘One Way or Another’ we meet Calder Benedict. Calder is one of the Benedict sisters. The Benedict sisters come from a lot of money, but they all work hard too and aren’t spoiled or anything. Calder works hard for her charity and is very successful. But the thing Calder isn’t successful in is finding a nice man. But when Calder meets Adam Stone things finally seem to look up for her. Adam is hardworking and doesn’t seem to be interested in Calder’s money at all.
From the moment I started reading this book I wanted to keep on reading. I was just so curious what would happen next. And this was definitely something due to the writing because this book was really not for me. For starters the characters just didn’t really spark my interest. The Benedict sisters where four sisters, one twin. And they all have different fathers. Yes, four different fathers even with the twins. Well.. I know this can happen, there’s a very small change of this happening though and this was just a little to much.
The romance between Calder and Adam was just something I couldn’t feel. I didn’t feel their chemistry. And for someone who has trouble trusting people, it seemed to me Calder trusted Adam very fast. I just didn’t really believed there romance, and I really wished I did. I just missed that butterflies in my tummy feeling a good romance novel makes me feel.
What I also didn’t really get was that book cover. It just doesn’t seem to fit this book if you ask me. The Benedict sisters are rich New York woman, and Adam supposedly only wears very nice clothes. That cover makes me think of a sweet country read, the opposite of what this book was really.
Like I said earlier, the writing in this book is good because it still made me want to keep on reading. I just wanted to know what was going to happen. But this book wasn’t for me.
