lenaasty 's review for:
The Keeper
by Lynn Montagano
Thanks for the ARC, I truly enjoyed the opportunity to read this book.
TW: Suicide, SA, grief
I can't lie, this wasn't so great. I gave it two stars just because it IS well written, it had a lot of potential and the author clearly knows her way with words. BUT it doesn't fix everything, like the instant love/relationship with never any tension in it. Also, if you remove all the smut, the book would be about 50 pages long. Not my cup of tea but I'm sure others would enjoy, as it is, again, very well written. The love interest, Xavier, feels super shallow, I can't find him any personality apart from being angry and loving his girl.
The sister storyline and the diary entries were a great addition, I loved those parts. I would love to have storylines like these in more romance novels, it adds some depth and suspens. Cool idea.
+ unresolved plotline at the end
