The White Pearl by Kate Furnivall

1.0

This book was tough to get through. The beginning was so slow, I had a hard time getting into the story. The rising action was so subtle I didn’t realize it was even happening. With 30 pages left of the book I was still unsure how the story could wrap up in any way. The relationship between Connie and Fitz felt sudden and forced. Out of nowhere, completely shocking, tragic events would happen—but instead of carrying the weight of the tragedy, they felt so out of place that they were humorous. Nigel being eaten by a shark? Seriously? I would’ve rated two stars because it was at least decent enough that I felt I should see it through and finish the book, but I also don’t think I would recommend it to a friend. So… hate to say it, ⭐️.
