He sure didn't deserve a second chance....
I'm a little scared for the rating for this book. I think sometimes people have trouble keeping certain parts and feelings about a book or its characters separate.
Sandy is a characters that's beyond easy to hate. And I mean passionately. That fact is going to color this book for a lot of people even though it maybe shouldn't.
I can hate a character and not hate a story. Actually, in some ways, in some books, it makes it better. It makes you think, it makes you feel passionately.
The amount of back and forth (I trust that readers of the book will understand what I mean) that the author put into this staggering.
I can honestly say this isn't a book I'd have picked up on my own. I can't really say why. The cover would have drawn me, I know that. The description itself is engaging. I just wouldn't have taken the chance on it. Yet another book to thank GR (FR) for.
I don't think I've ever had a book be so hard to review without leaving a spoiler. This probably isn't what you think. It was so far from what I thought that I reread the description a chapter or two in. But I can't complain - it works. It works well.
There are going to be people so uncomfortable with the thought of some of this that they'll hate the book. And that's a shame but nothing can be done about that. While I'm not exactly the type of person who does "believe" in some of these same things I can open my mind enough to enjoy it... and wonder. You never know...
If this authors other books are anything like this she has a lifelong fan in me. I think I'm going to get my hands on The Ex-Debutante next. If anyone has any suggestions for her other books I'mm very open to hearing them.
If there are any FirstReaders waiting on this - reconsider.
