Tear Me Apart by J.T. Ellison
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
When picking up this book I didn't expect much, but got even less than that. It was good for a quick read, but it was very predictable. Some of the relationships didn't seem all that real to me, it was off. The book was also much longer than it needed to be, some of the details were just not needed and so many pages could have been taken out. The end of the book talked about how this book took a long time to write, was rewritten many times, and I'm sure this version is a much improved one, but it needed more work.
I probably should have ditched this book, not finished, but decided to stick it out to the end. You never know with this genre if there's some weird twist at the end, or something that makes it all worth it. Not really here. There's an attempt at a twist, but wasn't surprising and wasn't all that much anyway.
I received a free copy of this book at a library conference. I was not required to write a review, but felt like it and, of course, the above opinions are my own.
book reviews, mostly.
books pulled from the shelves and new ones flying through the door. Enjoy!
