A review by vikcs
Resisting Roots by Audrey Carlan
lighthearted
medium-paced
2.25
liked the blurb and the beautiful cover so the book was sold for me.
The story itself builts on a really good general idea, with the whole injured athleet and yoga instructor theme. And I like the characters and their backgrounds too.
Where did it lost me? When it started to force down my throat all of the new age stuff really agressivly oh and the describing of almost every yoga pose through pages over and over again. The actual story, in wich not a whole lot of thing going ont o begin with, got lost among the descriptions and became boring. Reading this one was a real struggle for me. I think yoga is the do it not read about it kind of activity, at least not in this much detail.
In my opinion the book could have been stronger if its concentrated more ont he relationships between the various caharcters because those were really well created.
