review 1: Mixed feelings about this. Firstly, and something I can easily identify from my mess of thoughts, is that I thought the prologue or the epilogue were unnecessary. After a couple of pages into the prologue, I jumped to the first chapter, and I skipped the epilogue entirely.Secondly, and I doubt I'll be able to explain it properly, but here goes...What worked for me was Issac and the development of his character. At the same time, what didn't work for me was Issac and the development of his character.There was so much potential to do more with this character; to really, really get into his head, but it just didn't seem to happen. Or at least happen to the extent I wanted it to.I'm not saying the story was superficial. For me as a reader, though, it just didn't go deep e... morenough, didn't get into the guts and grit of what made Issac tick. So, yeah, a really interesting character, but ultimately his story just didn't hit all my reader buttons.
review 2: 2.5Has potential, didn’t quite hit the spot.The things I liked about this story:• The banter. The wicked fast dialogue between Issac and Colby, and Issac and Laith is quite humorous and engaging. There are some pretty good lines in this story.• I liked that Isaac is struggling to really ‘live’ again, and his dependency on alcohol gave the story some realism. • Pumkin worked for me. His story reflects and is used as a way of highlighting Isaac’s character growth. • Other than the prologue (get to that later), the scenes in the story are quick to get to the point, making for a fast read.• Love, love the cover.The things that didn’t work for me:• Insta-love story. The two main characters get together quite quickly with not too much struggle or growth to their relationship.• Dialogue felt stilted and forced in places, as if the characters were giving the readers information for the story to work. Unfortunately, this did not feel natural. • The prologue was very long and unnecessary. Following Isaac through the direct aftermath of losing his fiancé took me out of the story. I couldn’t connect well to the main character—he sounded too composed and articulate when finding out his fiancé was dead. For me the story really began at chapter one. I felt that there was more emotion of Isaac’s loss when it was contrasted in his ‘present’.The story has definite potential, and while I think there is room to make this story much ‘bigger’ than it was, the banter and, in particular, Isaac and Laith’s story-arc, make this a fun read. less
