A review by red_steele
Between You and Me by Susan Wiggs
2.0
1. The premise of this book was good, however, it was poorly written.
2. The narrator Tanya Eby did an excellent job.
3. The book cover asks, “How far would you go to keep a secret”? What secret is the author talking about?
4. The language was gratuitous. I find an author’s writing ability lacking when offensive language is constantly used.
5. There were several unfinished storylines. What happened to Caleb’s relationship with his mother after his visit to Florida. When Caleb left the city Leroy was never mentioned again. What happened with Reese and her parents at the end?
6. I find it frustrating that the woman always has to compromise her desires and goals in the end to make a relationship work. Why couldn’t Reese go to California and still figure out a way to make the relationship work with Caleb? I also had a problem with Reese’s proposal to Caleb.
7. Caleb proposed marriage to a woman on her deathbed, which was witnessed by Reese and it was never discussed.
8. Hannah birthing a baby in the house without Caleb’s knowledge was unrealistic. How could she give birth and Caleb not hear the baby cry?
9. The purpose of the Safe Haven law allows a mother to safely give up her child without prosecution. The author violated the spirit of the law when Reese forced Hannah to reveal her identity as the mother without fully understanding the ramifications she would face within the Amish community. This portion of the book was a cataclysmic failure.
10. The book went downhill when Caleb returned home after Jonah’s accident.
11. The end of the book was rushed and disjointed. The book ended with Caleb and Reese and nonsensically transitioned to a confusing epilogue. I dont understand why the epilogue POV switched to Jonah.
