Mini Review: Likes/Dislikes

Likes…

Clean new adult. IT IS POSSIBLE! I was starting to think otherwise. Everyone who knows me knows about my extreme dislike of the NA genre. I honestly can’t wait for the fad to be over and NA books to drop off the face of the earth. Was that too harsh? Oh well. It’s basically a genre where authors can get away with putting loads of sex, swear words, drugs and other objectionable content in what would otherwise be regular young adult books. As soon as I heard this novella being marketed as clean NA I knew it was something I HAD to read.

The main character, Julia, was easily liked and I was instantly rooting for her and Josh to make it.

I also liked the strong family presence. Even though Julia ran away with no explenation, her parents welcomed her back with open arms.

Dislikes…

The reason Julia ran away was a bit predictable.

Since the next book in the series is about a totally different couple, I’m not sure why this was just a novella and not a full-length book. I would have liked to get to know the characters deeper. ( )
