Review: IT COULD'VE BEEN BETTER

Yep, this is definitely for older readers in the YA genre. To be very honest, I’ve had this novella and another two of Ms Young’s books on my kindle which I’ve been dying to read because I’ve only heard good things about her books. Plus, she’s a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, so naturally I expected something spectacular. Alas, it was not to be. I was rather disappointed with the disjointed and very simplistic writing style the author uses. Because of this, I just couldn’t get into the story. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters and once I read the last page I was happy the book had finally come to an end. More detail went into the adult contents of the story than into the development of the plot. Maybe I just own a very old version of the book and it has been updated since I’ve downloaded it, or maybe it’s because I became frustrated with the very awkward pacing of the story that jumped from point A to Z with no build-up or filler in between. Even so, I’ll read one (or maybe both) of her other books that I have on my kindle, because I’m curious to see what it is that made her a NYT and USA Today bestselling author, as this definitely wasn’t it.
