When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann

2.0

This was a disappointment. I think I only gave it two stars because I like the author and writing is well done but the story line was cheesy and weird and I didn't like it. The twist that I was warned about definitely threw me off but everything about this was so forced and it felt too fake.

SPOILERS:







Falling in love within a couple weeks is okay once in a book but to have it happen twice, is just too much. It felt so unrealistic. Everything about the book felt so unrealistic. I think I said "wait, what?" at least a dozen times. It overall didn't make a lot of sense, I wasn't invested in the characters. To have one main character die, when you were starting to get to know them, and then introduce a brand new character all at the halfway point, makes it hard to ever really care for the characters.
The story sucked. Plain and simple. I still like Jewel Ann and don't plan on giving up on her, but I'm bummed I even wasted time on this.
