Review: Misleading Synopsis
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 01 23, 2014
This is book very ambiguous it tells us I did this, he said that, two weeks later, and etc but cheats us out of the actual events itself. Like when Rory and Toby fell in love we were cheated out of it because we didn't get to "see" how it happen. Also so far the synopsis is a bit misleading, it has you thinking that Rory gets abused often by her mother and I'm 18% into the book and her mother has done nothing to her. The first time abuse is mentioned Rory tells us what happen with her mom and brother Thax and with what she did to her mother telling her to "Stay down" and she does.......yeah not getting the abuse angle.Her brother Thax isn't even really active in the book he has just been mentioned the synopsis says he is needy but he is isn't even really an active character in the book. I mean we were even cheated out of the details of Thax going to the park with Rory and Toby to learn to play football. Again back to the misleading synopsis in reference to Ashley we aren't even given any details about what Ashley has done to Rory. Just Rory saying "I'll pay for that later" and then when we do get to where Ashley says something to Rory, Rory stands up to her in a big grand way. For the way it was done one would not believe that Rory was ever scared of this girl.I just can't get into the book and I'm disconnected to the characters for lack of detail and character development along with their depth. There are also editing issues with this book like the improper grammar use for ex: using "Your" when "You're" is the proper pronoun/contraction. Wow! The way the author wrote Rory just writing off what happen prom night even after Mando told her exactly what really happen! Like I can't! Smh I mean really at this point I'm reading this book to get to the end just to finish. This is one of those times where I hate that I can't just stop reading a book once I've started to read it. In my opinion skip this book it isn't worth the $3.99 asking price, this book just wasn't done properly and you can find a better book for $3.99. This review is based on the contents within this book and NOT the author has a whole.
