Review: Good Story and Good Plot
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 21, 2013
3.5 out of 5 starsThis felt too short. It was a good story, good plot, wasn't really lacking in any section (except maybe the end). Delaney is damaged and she knows it. She tries to finally break out of her shell with the help of her roommate Grace. As a result she falls for her brother Cole. There is of course some back and forth, some drama, until there is finally peace and happiness. It was somewhat predictable, but still enjoyable and very well-written.Delaney was somewhat predictable and it was easy to figure out what had happened to her back home. Considering what had happened, she was surprisingly put together. She did have a good head on her shoulders which is nice. She doesn't fall the the dick. She could be a somewhat good person to look up to, especially after a traumatic event. I just didn't like the boring-ness/predictability.Cole was actually a good guy. He seems like the 'bad boy' but he actually isn't. He may have made his rounds with women, but he treated everyone right and really did care for others. He is very swoon-worthy! He was predictable like Delaney, but he wasn't boring by any means. Grace was fun as well. She was a good friend and they did interact very similar to how my bestie and I act! It's nice to read a book where it makes sense and isn't a huge stretch from reality.This was a book I would certainly recommend. I do wish there was more about the different pieces as they are only mentioned in the beginning and end really. Also I wish it was a bit longer to see how people react as they find out the news-maybe even from different POVs. It was well written, and I enjoyed it; it just wasn't a favorite for this year. Definitely still looking forward to more by this author!
