When I first picked up Seasons of April, I thought it would be nice to read to pass the time away. Little did I know that I would become invested in the development of the characters ( specifically Mitch) and the way the story unfolded. I enjoyed the first person narrative and was glad that , for once, it was in  a male voice. The author weaves the story in with such a simplicity that it made the experience just that much more enjoyable. I like that there were constant challenges not only to the characters and the way they interacted with each other but also growth that each character embodied. I did draw issue with April and her manner of explaining away her bad decisions but that only highlighted her youthfulness as a stark contrast to Mitch's maturity. Despite this, I felt that there was a connection between the two, a viable connection that only strengthened. I found it refreshing that April was intimidated by her own good looks. and was just as hesitant as Mitch to take those necessary steps toward a fulfilling relationship.  It was a twisty story and at times, I did feel like I  was missing a pertinent piece of the puzzle but  it didn't stop me from turning the pages.This was a sweet story to read, interesting and surprising in a few places.
