An odd love/friendship triangle and a religious and homophobic family needs more than 54K words.Īs for Reagan and Charlie's relationship, their story just felt rushed. The writing and transition between scenes felt a little choppy because of this and I really wish the book had several more chapters. The plot felt rushed and the characters weren't given enough room to develop. There is so much going on in this relatively short read. we're not talking about me! Seriously dude, how could you do that? I meant Jamie not my dad fyi. I mean my father dropped me as a baby and I turned out fin. There's one particular immature stunt that Jamie pulled towards the end that had me questioning whether he was dropped on the head as a baby. That would be fine if the main characters weren't in their mid to late 20's yet acted like they were afraid their parents would ground them at any given moment. The thing about this book that didn't quite fit is that it reads like a YA/NA novel. There were a few chuckle worthy moments between Jamie and Reagan but I was hoping to see more of the funny banter Kinsley and Grace had in Sunsets and Shades. The scenario of two siblings who don't know the other is gay had great comedic potential but wasn't exploited unfortunately. This book had some good things going for it in the beginning.
