Exposed by Jessica Love
1.0
My first thought when I was done reading Exposed was 'What the hell did I just read?' From the first pages of this book I felt like I just couldn't connect to the story, and unfortunately that didn't change at all during this book.
Exposed is written as an anonymous autobiography and spans her whole life in such a short amount of time, that this book feels more like a cliff note version of an actual story. I was also disappointed that this book was considered an erotic novel; while there are some sexual based scenes, a lot of them are fast forwarded over all of the juicy aspects. The synopsis also mentions that this book is suppose to have a suspense aspect to it, I never really saw one. Again, this book jumped all over the place, so there was no time for any suspense to actually be built. While the ending is suppose to be a bit uplifting, it fell flat like the rest of the book.
Another aspect of this book that I did not care for was the way it was written. Exposed is narrated from Jessica's point of view. With the book being written this way, situations are discussed more than described and there isn't a lot of dialogue to help set the tone of the book. I also found I was unable to connect with Jessica as a main character, so there was no hope in enjoying the story with Jessica narrating the entire book.
*I received a copy if this book in exchange for my honest opinions*
