Corinne by Rebecca Morrow

3.0

I started off really loving this book. I didn’t want to put it down. I thought the young love blossoming between Corinne and Enoch was so cute and Corinne’s thoughts/reactions were so realistic to how a teenaged girl would be with a crush. However, the back and forth arguments over issues you thought were resolved or at least decently enough to keep the love story going was frustrating and I lost most of my interest after that. The length of the book is a bit excessive for the story being told. I did enjoy reading a book with a strict religious perspective on it though. It was interesting to experience how the main characters navigated their lives with unwavering loyalty for God.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I think this book is so well written and raw, open, and honest. I was drawn in immediately and hardly wanted to put it down or focus on anything else. The ending and the way it was written was absolutely chefs kiss.

The only things I didn’t particularly like about it was how her relationship with Jane became almost purely physical and it lost that deeper connection in my eyes. It seemed like Merit was in an experimental phase and being reckless. I also didn’t like how much time she spent away from her kids and how much she relied on a babysitter so she could live her best fantasy.

That’s just my personal gripe. All in all, loved reading this and I’m so happy that I did!
