It felt like things were a bit too easy and readily placed or explained. Her story was the one I really wanted after I finished reading this book. Shaun’s “girlfriend” Olivia, I wanted to know more her! She was the most interesting character for me and we got to learn almost nothing about her. Again, our time with Annie’s mother is short - but this is one character that was executed wonderfully.
Annie is a weak young-adult, bullied by her mother which is the origin of our tragedy. We’re told that they have arguments but we don’t see any until THE argument. We don’t really see the romance blossom and grow. During the novel, our main characters Annie and Shaun have a romance that starts off in what I assume is spring time.Īnnie graduates college and stays the summer for an internship - but aside for one date, we’re just told they have a romance where they fall in love. The timeline jumped around a bit too much in sporadic spurts, which had me flipping back a few pages to reorient myself in the story. The novel overall, felt like a first draft rather than a finished product. It was a short novel, and I think it could have benefitted from either becoming a shorter novella or expounded upon to be a little longer.
It’s a cute story, focusing on young love, tragedy, and family connections. I received, Compass Rose in my Bound to Brew box a few months ago and just got around to reading it.
