The Hundred Loves of Juliet by Evelyn Skye
2.0
A friend gave me this book, so I decided to read it even though she said it was just okay. I wanted to DNF several times.
This book had a very interesting and promising concept, so I was very interested to see where it went. I have to say that I was disappointed. First, the constant switching of story lines was jarring until you got used to it. After getting over that, the writing was pretty simple and not very engaging at times. Then, I am personally just not a fan of accidental pregnancy, so that also felt like a random addition towards the end that did not really provide the needed high-point for the story’s plot. If that was truly the pivotal moment for the book, then it should have been more of a connecting point with the reader. But the fact that things went downhill from there (when there wasn’t a great high point) was disappointing. Overall, I thought this book was mildly entertaining, but I won’t be recommending it to others.
