Review: Should've been Longer
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 26, 2013
I was excited to start this book since I loved the two books I've read by Magan, but unfortunately it felt short.Etta broke up with her high school sweetheart, Andrew, because she thought their relationship would not last the long distance thing. Few years later, on Christmas, she's asked to show Andrew's childhood home that is now being sold. To her surprise,  Andrew is the one that's interested in buying the house.Let me start off by pointing out that I usually don't read novellas. When I do, is because I love the author and expect it to be as good as her/his full novels.I was a little disappointed after reading Off the Market. I know novellas are supposed to be around half the length of a full novel, but this book was about a quarter of the length. Since it was so short, I read it in about an hour and a half, a lot of events felt rushed and the romance between the two main characters did not feel believable.I actually did like the characters themselves. I also liked where the plot, but I just wished it was stretched out a little more to be able to see the characters and their romance develop.Overall, it was an okay book and I would've had a different opinion if it was about 50-65 pages longer.
