Way too descriptive
Purchased this on a whim because author and I have the same name.
Started off enjoying it. Liked the narrator, as she kept a good pace and varied her voice per character just enough without being too over the top.
But after the first hour I became irritated by the overly descriptive narrative and repetition of the same information.
This book easily could have been cut in half time wise.
The only reason I actually finished it was to find out who the “villain” was. I will say it wasn’t who I expected but, I was let down.
This could have been a much better book with less fluff. This author really needs to cut back the overly dramatic narrative and work more on character development. So much potential with the “mean girls” in this book, to delve more into who they were. Too much time spent on the ridiculous one night stand she had. Fell asleep too many times listening as I was so bored and just wanted her to get to point and finish already. I give this 2.5 out of 5.
And based on other reviews I’ve read of her books, I most likely won’t read any more of her work. Just not captivating enough.
