Gone South by Meg Moseley
3.0
Would've had four stars if it didn't have such cliche, horribly cheesy lines at the end of the book. Ruined a lot of it for me.
Good story, a bit slow, I had a hard time grasping what exactly the whole point of everything was and the author tried to tell us in the end of the novel by overly cliched lines, but by then it was too well. So, I guess the correct term is "underdeveloped themes" but it seems more like they were rushed, or she felt like we should just get it? IDK I was confused. The epilogue made a big point about how our identity is found in God as we are HIS children above all else and thats a great theme but seemed to come out of nowhere, the family stuff with the Mel character seemed WAYYY underdeveloped and that couldve been a good (and better) story in itself but there was a lot of things hinted at that weren't fully explored and I'm just left confused and rambling on a comment thing on goodreads so ill end this here. Its a fine, light, read the ending was just dumb. The author tried to make the story more than it was, I feel like. That's rude, but its how it felt. Oh, and she failed.
