Review: Shallow
Rating: 2 out of 5

I found the plot and writing of this book to be rather shallow. There was not much depth to the character development or the story line, so I was not emotional drawn in to either of the plots. The writing was stilted and jolted me out of the story quite often. For instance, in most cases "I am" or "we are" was written out rather than being written as "I'm" or "we're." This may sound nitpicky, but when characters speak like this it doesn't read as natural and stops the flow of the prose, making me focus on the words rather than the images they represent. The editing of the book left much to be desired as well, with multiple typos. Overall, it was not a terrible read, it just would have been much more enjoyable with more depth, better character development and scene development and more natural-sounding dialogue.
