Have you ever started to read a book, and from the first few pages you
could tell it was going to hook you? That was this book for me. I
chose it as my October early-release freebie through Prime. The same
day I ordered this, I downloaded about 4 other books through my public
library. I was going to read a few pages from each book and see which
grabbed my attention. I started with this book and just kept reading.
It
was well written and well edited. Witty humor was interjected
throughout, and while centered around a deep subject, the book was light
and yes, maybe a bit fluffy. I felt that the main characters were well
developed and part of what kept me hooked was that I cared about Libby
and wanted to see what happened to her. I appreciate that this was a
"clean" book - no swearing, no explicit sex scenes, but I would have
liked Libby's first love scene to have been slightly more detailed. At
only a sentence or two long, at first I wasn't sure if it was something
that had actually happened.
I disagree with what one reviewer
said about everything being neatly tied up in a bow at the end. Not
everything with Libby was tied up at the end of the book -which I found
surprisingly unpredictable. Yes, there was a happy ending of course -
and I would not have wanted it any other way.
