From Ashes by Molly McAdams

3.0

After falling in love with a lot of Molly McAdams' books, this couldn't gain my attention till about halfway in. For example, I loved Cassidy's journey to finding the strength and bravery to emancipate herself from her childhood friend forcing himself onto her, but missed depth when it came to their parting. The first part of the book was foremostly driven by drama induced by the lack of communication which I simply couldn't stand. Later, I fell for the two povs and their relation but still felt overwhelmed by some thrown in storylines the author did not go through with. Overall, I found a lot of elements too romantic to be taken for real but enjoyed this trip into this a little too dramatic and eventually too happy story. It lives on extremes and thus sometimes lacks nuanced developments.
