A review by bloopers
The Getaway by Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks
4.0
I would say that this story is a pretty good one, but of course it has it's flaws. Let me explain.
So I think the characters could use a bit of work. It's learned early-on the Chloe is a politician, but the only time that was mentioned, at least frequently, was the beginning. I think that this could've delved more into a political standpoint and the authors opinions on politics, or if they don't want to start that much drama, maybe hint at least show that she was a politician. Along with that, Chloe just felt dumb at the beginning.
For the other characters, like the fiance(I forgot the name) I felt were really well made characters. They felt realistic making their actions have feeling.
Now, the worldbuilding. I won't pick on it too much since this is a short story, but either way, I liked what I got .
With that settled down, let's talk about the plot. I found it to be pretty okay, but I think that it would've been better for it to be a novel or novelette to get to develop really everything more. I felt like it was unique, and though the plot twists felt predictable, the writing just launched every bad thing out of here.
The writing was actually really good, better than most books I've read or listened too. It was smooth and fast, perfect for a short story, and it showed the perfect amount of emotion to really keep me hooked.
Anyways, that my honest(and slightly messy) review of The Getaway by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
