The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
2.25
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No

Mmmmmmmnnnnn, I really wanted to love this. 

It started off very strong, I was super excited to see where the story and their relationship went. But, as I read on, it became more and more repetitive. Random plot points were thrown in to create “invisible string moments” that never actually held any weight. All of the friend characters felt like devices to help push the two main characters together, which is fine. But they were all cardboard. 

Towards the end it felt like I was watching a young girl throw rocks at her wild stallion, telling him to leave and go be free.
