Review: Serious Emotional Response to A Quick Read
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book is a seriously quick read. I was able to finish it in around four hours. The writing isn't difficult to get into and it's separated into three parts: Holly, Daniel, and Holly again. I liked the book, but I feel that it was lacking in some things.For instance, there is a huge amount of emotion. I found myself feeling what Holly was feeling in part one. However, once part two comes along, you are left wondering how Daniel could be a good person in Holly's eyes. The issues that Holly hints at aren't really discussed and neither is the involvment of Daniel's mother in their separation. On top of that, I don't understand why Holly never took care of business once they were separated.Anyways, Holly is a typical mom: strong, but working off the seat of her pants. Daniel seems to be a guy who loves control and can be sweet, but he clearly lacks cahonies figuring it took years to look for them (how close in proximity they are will make you want to lunge and beat Daniel to a pulp).The storyline is a bit predictable, but the emotions I felt during the read really astounds me. I don't think I've had an emotional response to a book in at least a few books ago. The fact that there was a response makes me like this book. Honestly, I wish there was more. I'm left with some questions, but no answers.
