Magical Realism

Revisado: 04-16-20

I decided to get this book because I loved the lure in the description. The narration was fantastic and I loved how compassionate Luke was. Through his inner thoughts you got a sense that he really felt for others, and for a rich kid was pretty down to earth. What fell short for me with the story was the pacing. I thought that it would take place during a summer and be a slow cook love story with some mystery. But it went super fast, maybe over two weeks and this made me have no emotional connection to Isabella or their relationship. Seriously, I felt like there was no chemistry between the two characters and how could there be when he meets her twice and then suddenly a big twist (predictable one) is revealed and the book is over. The story and characters had major potential it just was majorly rushed...which bummed me out because I felt the writing style was strong and natural.

Great

So sad this beautiful series is over. I loved the arc of all the characters. I do feel that some of the storyline wasn’t needed and because of this filler some storylines were not wrapped up; however the main plot line was great and I loved the new character Henry and what he added to the groups dynamic.

Love these books!

Incredible cliffhanger, and twist! Great chemistry with the two main couples, and development. A little annoyed the Blue acted so moody though, but loved the you saw Rowan’s more sensitive and sweet side.

Fantastic

Revisado: 11-13-17

I love the author's YouTube channel and her quirky personality; and unbashful yet unpretentious way she explains things and tells personal stories. She has really helped me gain a more peaceful, in control view point on death! This book was insightful, witty, and written with a lot of heart.

Not my favorite but pretty good

Revisado: 11-09-17

Not my favorite by her, most of the characters were very flat with little substance. However, I enjoyed the sweet relationship between Maggie and Jim and The Blakes. I also liked how real the circumstances were and nothing was romanized, which is what I always expect when reading something by this author. The narrator has a lovely voice and pace--however, the chapter numbers are abrupt: with there barely being a pause for breath after the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

Sassy and fun

Revisado: 10-05-17

I loved this story. The narration is excellent; but what really makes this story stand out and so much fun to listen to was Henry's voice and quips and unapologetic vanity. He's a hilarious and honest protagonist struggling with very relevant problems, though it takes place in the 19th century. The story touches upon: abuse, bi-sexuality, gender roles, class and race. Henry's growth is subtle but natural, and I wish for a sequel because I'd love to see what kind of mis-haps and adventures he and Percy can get themselves into as they enter adulthood.
