A review by winemakerssister
In the Unlikely Event by L.J. Shen
5.0
Wow, this novel is a roller coaster of emotion and angst. It's filled with lies and good intentions and many that are not so good. And honestly, that's the sort of thing that will normally keep me away from some books. I'm generally not a fan of angst and extreme emotion. But when it's so beautifully written and compelling, I feel quite differently.
This is the story of Mal and Rory and lots and lots of star-crossed love. But it's worth hanging in there through all the high emotion. No spoilers; 'nuff said.
And I loved the little aside notes from the other characters. The napkin, the neighbor's cow, the rock star... And they were especially fun in the audio book because they were narrated by Shane East and Muffy Newtown (Erin Mallon).
Cover: I don't really have feelings about it one way or the other.
Narration: Generally wonderful, especially the notes. But I wasn't a big fan of Savannah Peachwood's portrayal of Mal.
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: Tricky. I'm sorting Rory into Ravenclaw and Mal into Slytherin.
Themes: NYC, rural Ireland, song writers, star-crossed lovers, good intentions and bad intentions, family
