To Get to the Other Side by Kelly Ohlert
1.0
I was expecting more from this book.
I really loved how it began, the first chapter was so successful at providing intrigue that I was sure that I was going to finish this book in one day and love every minute of it. But it started going downhill very quickly as I felt as though the writing suddenly changed the tone after the first chapter.
The plot is absurd and has the potential to be very fun and funny, however the execution of it fails. So do the characters who felt very one-dimensional to me.
The romance wasn't my cup of tea either. I was left with the impression that the lead characters — Trixie and Bear — had no chemistry between them so everything that transpires between them, including the friendship they have before they hook up (which comes out of nowhere) and later decide to date feels off.
This book wasn't for me. I hope that someone out there enjoys it much more.
