Review: Strange But Oh So Good
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 26, 2012
Within the first quarter of the book, I felt like it was a mix between the TV series Twin Peaks and David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Claire escapes her past only to be forced back into it years later when attending a funeral. It is at this point that two stories start unfolding. Do these two stories and characters eventually crash into one another? You'll have to read the book to find out.Billie's writing style makes it easy to follow Claire's past and present but there are some sections which appear disjointed. As the reader progresses, you will learn that these disjointed bits are essential in telling the story.The one thing I did not like about this book which prevents me from giving it a full 5 is Claire's longing for the past. The one side of her craves to move on and yet she seems to stuck in the past. I'm not sure if this book is part of a series but I stepped away from this read wishing I knew more about Claire.Would I recommend this read? Oh so definitely, to anyone with an open mind.Overall assessment:Content: 4.5/5Editing: 4.5/5Formatting: 4.5/5Pacing: 4.5/5Offensive content?: Adult themes are present in various sections, not recommended for anyone below 17.Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from the author through Orangeberry Book Tours.
