Second Chance Hero by Rebecca Sherwin is a story about a second chance to fix a mistake, a second chance to right a wrong that you did, a second chance at a love you thought was lost to you forever.The idea of this story was great, there was so much potential for this book, but I do not feel that it was reached. For me, while reading it, it seemed like the author was too focused on writing a book and not focused enough on writing a story. The characters seemed wishy washy, flipping back and forth from one emotion to the next with little to no cause for such changes of behavior.The story itself seemed jumpy, like they were trying to move too fast and we missed out on things that would have been nice to ouch on more. Such as the fact that Jenna, our main female character, chanced her appearance when she left home, and was adamant about the fact that she was different than she used to be, but after only a couple of days home she was right back to where she started from and it was as if the “new Jenna” had never existed. That just seemed to come on a little too fast for it to be believable.Would I recommend this particular book to others? No I would not.Would I let this one bad experience keep me from reading more by this author in the future? Again, no I would not.We can’t judge an author by one book, if that were the case there would be only a handful of authors that I could ever read again.
