He Gets That From Me by Jacqueline Friedland
2.0
Meh.
The premise is great. The story is interesting and had the opportunity to be great. Although Friedland narrates the story through the two main characters the story still just seems so one sided. There’s not much dimension. Her supporting characters have very little depth and it’s quite obvious who she wants you to see as hero’s and villains in the story. She had an opportunity to really make the reader place themselves into the story and decide what would’ve been best for them, their family which quite obviously might be different from what works for another family. Instead she spoon feeds us her version. It’s really disappointing bc “He Gets That From Me” could’ve been so much more.
