Before You by Marni Mann

The blurb was very enticing. Unfortunately since the moment I started reading, I had a feeling I wouldn’t like this book because the writing didn’t appeal to me at all. It felt disconnected and not cohesive. Although this book had a great potential with the plot and the forbidden element to it. But it just wasn’t angsty at all. I couldn’t feel Billie’s pain when she learnt the truth about Jared nor the guilt that he harboured when he dated her while lying to her. When they were separated, their misery wasn’t palpable at all. I wish it had more depth to it, a little more emotion to instil more feelings in the reader.
