Atomic Love by Jennie Fields
2.0
Okay. I made it more than half-way through this book and just gave up with it.
It had too clean and too surface-y writing to it. What I mean is, you just didn't really get deep into their psyches or in their feelings. This is a woman who has ostracized herself from the world because she helped make the bombs they dropped in the second world war.
What is this book really about? Her feelings about a man who used her and dumped her, forget about her feelings regarding the war. This guy is way more important.
What really annoyed me is how long we were strung along with him crawling back to her and playing this:
Him: I wanna tell you what I'm doing, but you have to trust me
Her: Okay, I'll trust you.
Him: No, not now.
[Hangs out with him more.]
Him: I wanna tell you what I'm doing, but you have to trust me.
Her: Okay, I'll trust you?
Him: No, still not now.
[Sleeps with him.]
Like on and on this went. You know what was a good book that had characters and a mixture of the second world war? The Huntress. That book was good. That book was WELL DONE. I cared for the characters. This is some wishy-washy story about some woman moaning about being jilted and playing the 'oh I feel bad that I caused the death of so many people' card but not doing a thing about it to rectify her feelings.
Just don't read this book. Read a book like The Huntress, that is a book about catching someone.
