Caught Up
by Liz Tomforde
I really wanted to like this book and give 4 stars. The plot was essentially a Hallmark Movie. No shame there.
I could not get past how Max was described. He is a 15-month old child. Every other time Max is mentioned, they mention his age. I think "toddler" was used once. I could see how his age would help show time passing, Going from 15 to 16 to 17 months over the summer, but it was mentioned over 15 times. I get it, he's 15 months.
Furthermore the child has no character development at all. He's essentially a prop. There's more personality in the twice mentioned teammates than this kid, who is... You guessed it; 15 months, that should be showcasing some likes and dislikes at least. A dog might have more personality in a story than this kid.
Hard to fall in love with a kid that just smiles, waves and barely has words. Somehow he had difficulty producing "mama" or a nickname for Miller but could say "sad'.
