A review by carahamelie
Contribute by Kristy Acevedo

4.0

This whole series was great and I enjoyed it all the way through. This book was a ride, but it was also longer than it needed to be in my opinion. I felt like there was a decent amount of filler writing in it that didn't need to be there. With that said though.. it was still somewhat fast paced, and I was really curious how it was going to end. I think Kristy is really good at building and describing worlds and developing characters. Everything was very vivid and clear as I read the story. The science aspect was very thought out as well. I also feel like she did a pretty good job at filling any plot holes that would be easy to create in a story like this.

I do get a little frustrated reading main characters with anxiety disorders only because sometimes the plot focuses more on that than the story... and the characters make dumb decisions or jump to conclusions that make no sense....(like when she wouldn't put the weapon strap around her neck or she thought Dominick and Rita were having an affair for no apparent reason.) I find it more aggravating than suspense building. I understand that it can make for an interesting character... but more often than not I just roll my eyes.

Consider & Contribute were both very surprising and I probably wouldn't have picked them up if they weren't recommended to me. I am interested to see what other books Kristy comes out with.
