Divine by Nichole Van
5.0
I first read Intertwined and although a sweet story, I found it lacking.
Divine was a great follow up which I enjoyed immensely. Actually I found it quite hard to put down. The story was fabulous and emotional. Unrequited love always makes for a fabulous tale, but Nichole's art of making you feel what they feel or feeling they way you want to feel, is very well done.
One thing I am also enjoying about these books is the information in the Author's note and Reading Questions at the end. It's interesting to hear from the author and get a glimpse of their thoughts.
I had all these ideas of what the end would be and they were all wrong, this is the best part of the read!
Also after reading Intertwined, I thought I knew what this whole book would be about but it took me on quite a different journey in another direction, which I found very pleasing.
I will definitely be reading the next books in the series, to see what tales are spun.
If I could, I would give it 4 3/4 stars. I'm not a fan of reading a copied famous line, so that was real disappointing and at such a pivotal moment. Sure it could have been stolen from a 2013 viewing of the movie, but it just read icky.
I wouldn't classify this book as a trashy love story, although I'm sure literary snobs would love to. It makes you think, makes you feel and keeps you in suspense, so it's definitely more than that.
