Hereditary by Jane Washington
3.0
I have mixed feelings about this book. I bought it during the audible half price sale and I thought it was a RH book. That was my bad. I just assumed since Jane Washington has RH books that I have read and that's 100% my mistake. Besides that though.. the characters were half finished almost. I don't know how else to explain it. Just underdeveloped. I like the idea of the story though and I really liked the world.
There is one thing that put me off.. Something terrible happens to Beatrice. I won't say what because spoilers suck but I mean it's awful... But she is so focused on how it's affecting the people around her when she should be worried solely on herself. I don't like that she pushed her feelings aside so the people around her wouldn't be affected. I don't like that at all. I actually almost stopped reading the book, it bothered me that much. People deal with things differently and I understand that. I can see how maybe we were suppose to see her as a strong person because she was able to be like f*** you feelings and move on, but I feel like she cried for a couple days and then noticed how everyone else was feeling and then it was never mentioned again. I'm sorry but that shit is traumatic. Personal preference I guess.. It just bugged me.
I also don't like that I have no idea who the romantic interest is suppose to be.. I thought this book was RH until I read some reviews and now it's bothering me. I don't know who I am suppose to be rooting for! I read way too much RH. But in a one on one romance book, I would like to know who the heck the guy is.
I will read the next book because I want to know who she ends up with and I want to know what happens. But I am honestly not too excited about it.
