crypticbutton 's review for:

First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison
2.25
dark emotional funny lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

-1 - Mis/Not Communicating Troup (BARF)


-1 - the spicy scenes seem in direct conflict with the overall lighter tone of the novel and it takes away from a otherwise great narritive. They are also just kinda ick inducing. I had to fastforward thru them espcially the closet scene bc it came so out of the blue and didnt feel earned at all. 

-0.50 - Third act break up and man child behavior

-0.25 - Pacing is a bit off and by halfway through I was kinda done with it
