Perfect Ten by K.M. Neuhold
3.0
I quite enjoyed this book and thought it was a good start to a series. I may be a little bias because, after reading Four Bears Construction, K.M. Neuhold was put up there with my favourite authors.
This books tell the story of Tennyson (Ten) and Bambi (Ryan) on Palm Island, and how they fell for each other. Both having very different reasons to escape real life to the adventures on the Island.
The way the author shows the island as an escape from reality really made me think about booking a holiday! After the global pandemic, am sure everyone would appreciate the opportunity to escape for a little while. What would be your escape from reality?
Even though I did enjoy the main characters, I found myself more drawn to the Island and its adventures. Like come on, where would you go for a walk and randomly come upon a carousel. Even the mystical legend of spirits brings soul mates together had me wanting to be there. Sign me up!
There has been a few pin holes of discrepancies, but hey, it’s fiction people – I was still transformed into the authors world! The economics of the island is a little baffling. Visitors come for a couple of months of the year and then the locals get to enjoy the island when they leave for the remainder of the year, with bonfires, drinks, etc. It makes you think of the logistics, but as I said, I was still transformed.
The camaraderie of the characters was heart warming and exciting. With Bambi being on the island for 2 years and keeping to himself, only having one good friend. When his friend leaves to pursue his career, Bambi is forced to push himself into a more social setting. I relate a lot to Bambi because sometimes all I want to do is sit and read which can be a lonely setting, forcing you out to find ‘your people.’
I have rated this 3 stars because even though I did enjoy the story, there were some things that could have been addressed i.e. economical and logistical. K.M. Neuhold became one of my favourite authors after reading Four Bears Construction and I feel that the bar has been set high. Unfortunately, this book didn’t come close.
