This is the first book by this author I've read and I kind of have mixed feelings. I liked the story but the writing felt kind of off. It was like someone was telling me the story as an onlooker and it caused a disconnect between me and the characters.

 

I was told and not shown and it kept dragging me from the story. Also I think the emotions between the characters could have been shown more. I understand that the author was going for a confused, denial kind of vibe but some affection or a more detailed insight into some tender moments would have been nice.

 

The story was a short introductory novella but a few more pages of them actually together might have been nice just to close it out. But all of that said I liked the story and the characters had a lot of potential. I'm adding the next book to my TBR and hopefully being a full length book I'll get everything I want from it.
