Fortuna by Kristyn Merbeth
4.0
This book has alternating POV's, which each chapter flipping back and forth between the two main characters. It really worked for this book, it allowed the reader to really understand the actions and thoughts of both characters (who are every different) while also allowing for additional setting and plot to unfold.
I really struggled with one of the main characters but she very (and I mean very) slowly grew on me, I found myself rooting for her only to be let down by her decisions again and again but by the end of the story she finally came into her own and I was able to appreciate her choices. I realized after the story that that was so much more realistic then a perfect character or one who makes one bad decision and suddenly changes their whole personality so while I was frustrated when reading I'm really happy the author created the character that way. I'm interested to see where the plot goes, while the story wraps up pretty nicely there is definitely more drama looming on the horizon.
