HEART BREAKINGThe closerDerek feels more distant. Then Beth discovers that Derek has been hiding a dark secret ... one that could change everything. Opinion
I had many expectations about this book (derived from the Blog-Tour organized by Angela Morrison Library The Itzel which I was part) and maybe that is not one hundred percent satisfied. Analicemoslo a bit:
The plot begins with a Cinderella cliche trapped in a world of ridicule and humiliation, and suddenly, a fairy godmother arrives with a credit card and you solve life. (I mentioned before this is a cliche?). In a separate situation, the typical best friend (luserino) in love with her from the beginning, which she changes for the cute boy (clicheee!!).
In another scene, character guy falls in love but your loved one has a disease that is his death sentence (as in "a love to remember"?) And stay together until near the end of the life of x.
I swear I wanted to give a good rating to the book, some form, available through the blog author tour makes me want to say that his novels are excellent ... but could not lie to myself, and that ever!.
In general the plot has some weaknesses: it is as if Angela had taken a blender and set it to "Cinderella," "Mean Girls," "A Love to Remember", the classic best friend luserino (sinifica unpopular or loser more .. literally. loser-ino ... if I live in border and mix languages) loooooooong movies and books for young gringos, would have added ice, and had served on a frappe teenager. Do not take it badly, in general is good (as a rich frappe on a hot day) but it's nothing new.
As for the characters, esque truth are the best of the book. Beth evolves wonderfully, and all behave as they should be, to the point that seems real people in real situations. the best is Beth. She is strong (enough to make credible that is not mired in a depression of hell after what he lived), has the right motives and everything else. Like the other characters, even the mothers of these are well done.
The cover is beautiful, touching and very appropriate for the story.
Angela's style is simple to follow, interesting, attractive. It has little details that make you think, laugh, smile sarcastically, talk to the author and mourn mourn ... a lot! I like so well and I love to read most of it.
The end ... I think was a bit incomplete. Everything ended very quickly and I think the change was extremely sudden unjustified Scott ... besides that, i was pretty good. I love the detail of the song and lagirmas recovered.
Overall a good book, poignant and very sweet. Although I do not completely fill the eye.
I give it a 4: More along the lines of the author that the book itself.
