review 1: Mandatory release is a book about 2 high school friends, Graham and Drew, who meet up many years later while they are both going through divorces and trying to put their lives back together. They end up working at the same job and Graham fall for Drew all over again. I enjoyed how the two main characters were total opposites in the book, Graham comes off as bitter and pessimistic about life and Drew is the exact opposite showing a caring and compassionate nature, there are many funny situations in the book because of these contrasting personality traits. This was a book about friendship healing each others hearts and turning into love. I also liked that the author threw in a few other obstacles in the Drew and Grahams way, like crushes from other people, to see if their lo... moreve could overcome everything. The dual point of view in the book was great because we got to see the story from each characters side written from their personality standpoint. I would rate this book a 4 because it had humor, love, and friendship, although, it was a very mature book with a lot of "adult situations".
review 2: 3.5 stars. A solid book with entertaining, reliable characters. I liked the other book this author wrote too, Driving Sideways. The only thing that did somewhat annoy me was the excessive use of similes and metaphors that had me thinking "ENOUGH ALREADY" with each one I read. I also was puzzled as to why, while this book was written from the perspective of 2 characters, one was written in the first person and the other in the third person. Made me feel uncomfortable and off-kilter. Not the strongest writing but entertaining, enjoyable and sweet nonetheless. less
