paddlefoot55 's review for:

Then You Happened by K. Bromberg
3.0

ARC received for an honest review


Oooy, for the first time ever, I contemplated DNFing a Kristy Bromberg book, and that hurt my heart.

I enjoyed the prologue and was looking forward to where Tate's story was going to go.

And then we had the first 1/3 of the book, that was so repetitive and drawn out that it could have been all done in a couple of chapeters. It was at this stage that I first thought of giving up.

I put it aside, but it then took me more than a day to pick up the book again, as I knew I was going to struggle. However, I persevered, and it did get better.

I wanted to love Tate and Jack, but there just was not enough to get me there. Tate came across as whiney and stubborn, and ugh boy does she overreact. And all Jack's goodness and leading-man-ness got lost in all the overreactions and superfluous words.

Once the story got going, it fell into a state of predictability. I knew where the story was going to go well before it got there, and that also took out the enjoyment of the story. And got me to the eye rolling stage.

I did finish reading this one, but only just.
