Bliss by Lisa Henry

It pains me to type this because I love these two phenomenal authors but this was a big let down. The concept utopia/ dystopia, compulsion/ slavery was an interesting one however, it was ruined via the execution of telling it. Two heads usually are better than one...just not in this case. The story was a bit disjointed (like this review). There were moments of brilliance abruptly followed up with moments of absurdity and confusing logic. Almost as if both authors had different ideas of how the story should flow. It essentially unraveled at the seam and sadly I can't put a finger on with whom the fault lays .
Maybe I'm nuts so don't take me seriously but this story sadly is a miss for me.
FYI---
Don't let this one review deter you from reading these two great authors other works though. They are brilliant storytellers. This particular book just didn't do it for me.

*would it be wrong of me to blame the editor? I want to read the bits that were left on the chopping room floor may haps the edited pieces would fill in the gaps* lol
