Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough
3.0
3 stars.
This book was just okay for me. I did find the storyline intriguing; it kept me entertained and wanting to know what happened next, but I feel it took too long to get there. The beginning of the story dragged and was kind of boring. I was about to give up on it until I got to the plot twist in the middle and then I became invested again. I can't give it more stars and debated on giving it only two because so many things bothered me about this book.
First, I really didn't like Ava at all. I found myself annoyed every time I was reading from her point of view and all the ridiculous mentions of "him". Also, I found the book to be very repetitive; seriously, how many times can I read about Charlotte's "shite" life? Everything with her, about her, around her is "shite". I got the point the first ten times I read it. Lastly, there was a reveal at the end that I found to be ridiculous.
All this being said, the story itself, once I got to the thick of it, was pretty good and I definitely feel there is an audience for this book. I'm just not that audience.
