To Get to the Other Side by Kelly Ohlert
4.0
This book had several “LOL” moments, and the plot was just outlandish enough to really draw the reader in to the world the author created. The main characters were compelling and well formed, and the chemistry between them is very sweet.
Although the book is set in a world where the Pandemic exists, it isn’t really dealt with, which I felt was an odd choice. The author mentions social distancing, and keeping six feet apart, but that’s the only reference to a global pandemic.
I enjoyed the choices made to reveal pieces of information ad different times, to move the story forward, I think it kept my attention much better than if there’d been a lot of exposition at the front end. Everything also wrapped up nicely, although I do wish the parental trauma on both sides had been more explicitly dealt with.
Overall, a very enjoyable read!
