The Next Time You See Me by Holly Goddard Jones
4.0
Oops... I did NOT intend for it to take me so long to write up this review! Ugh, it's been a crazy couple of weeks!
So, about the book:
The Next Time You See Me marks the first time I have won something since I was a small child and won a Burger King sponsored box of Disney's Aladdin crap. I entered a giveaway, and was selected for this book. I'm rather glad that happened. The story was quite good! I wouldn't say it was good enough to make my top ten, but as a debut novel, four stars from Angie the Book Jerk ain't too bad!
The story was well thought out; the characters were well developed and relatable. My only possible issue with this story is that the ending was a little too ambiguous for my taste, but I think that is only because I wanted a firm, final answer for Ronnie, because I grew to care about what happened to her. So, good job Holly Goddard Jones.
One big complaint, which actually has nothing to do with the story or the writer, but I have to know- who was in charge of assembling this book?! I wonder if I got a reject... It was terribly bound. All of the pages are slightly different widths. Doesn't affect readability, but I'm a bit neurotic and was instantly put off by the appearance of the book- minus the jacket of course, which I thought was quite lovely.
