really liked it

This was a very addictive read!

Review:

a.) Characters: 4/5 score. Grace is a strong character, and you are immediately thrown into her life with her overbearing father and timid mother. You feel her frustration and defeat, and her admiration for Michael. You get family with Liv’s family and Tori’s situation- and you see a lot of strength and weakness overall in everyone. Because of all that, these characters felt amazingly real, as if I could call any of them up on the phone right now and have a chat with them.

b.) Plot: 4/5 score. I have conflict with the plot, because even though I liked it I had a hard time believing it. I guess I do believe it, but it felt like it made Grace’s intelligence suffer because of it. On the same note, the infatuation she felt toward Michale was fueled by all the points in her life, so it was believable. I guess my conflict is more of a personal issue about her course of action.

c.) Writing style: 3/5 score. There was nothing dynamic about this style except how much Grace ignored her own values/beliefs for the sake of “love” and “freedom”. I myself, never having grown up with a religious background, am mystifies at how “damaging” it can be to life. If this confuses you (which I bet it does), read the darn book.
