She made decisions were questionable and just plain ridiculous, but I could understand why. There was a lot of details throughout the book that was interesting but made the story a tad chunky. I do agree that it could have been a stronger story but somewhat fell short. Still an interesting idea though. Thanks for your honesty, sorry you didn't enjoy it.<br />Shane @ItchingforBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299725578226281943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392313794653452735.post-87632195292224037652016-03-13T18:25:07.415-07:002016-03-13T18:25:07.415-07:00Oh no, what a letdown.

But bad editing - and just plain bad writing - nope. There's no getting past that, I don't care how interesting the synopsis is. Sorry this one was such a fail.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392313794653452735.post-49379888611070614892016-03-13T10:41:27.583-07:002016-03-13T10:41:27.583-07:00I remember when KC committed suicide as well, and ...I remember when KC committed suicide as well, and feeling what a tragic waste. I've never picked up or watched anything about the circumstances or his life, but I can imagine if you were a big fan that this story would've been great if it was done well.

I am glad you have dated yourself- I had no idea that you were an old lady like me ;) I was in... quick math... 6th grade. So I guess that counts as middle school? Anyway, I wasn't a huge fan, BUT it was still so sad. And yeah, a death like that absolutely has the potential to be moving. But apparently not. <br /><br />Also- what is with randomly using KC's death? In Love Letters to the Dead, and this... like, the characters weren't even BORN when he died! OR while his music was still a thing! <br /><br />Great review though, steering clear of this one!

I've had to stop reading reviews on GR for some of these 2016 books because 90% of them are from authors and they are all 5 stars and how great the books are. It's fine that they want to support each other, but I really don't like how they don't disclose at the top of their reviews they are friends. Anyways, I digress. <br />I can't say I was interested in this one, but hmm the fact that the MC's thoughts interrupts the book's flow would bother me. I was only a few months old when KC died, so I don't think I'll emotionally connect to that aspect. <br />Anyways, thanks for the great review, Eva!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304521473521896294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392313794653452735.post-36060276357276696092016-03-11T05:29:01.529-08:002016-03-11T05:29:01.529-08:00Ah, this does sound like hot mess :/ Sorry it wasn...Ah, this does sound like hot mess :/ Sorry it wasn't better for you!
