Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera
2.0
I really wanted to love it… but I almost did not finish. One of the things that kept me from really getting into it was that it wasn’t a very believable early 2000’s. The world felt like the 2010’s or later.
Otherwise, the book may just be written for someone too much younger than me… Juliet just didn’t resonate the way I expected her journey to… she had too little introspection for someone self described as introspective. The last third of the book was a lot stronger.
Even so, the writing was too much “tell” not enough “show.”
