Against the Wall by Julie Prestsater

3.0

This is a full spin-off novel (463 pages on the Nook) that can be read as a stand alone from Julie Prestsater’s Double Threat series’ universe. I haven’t read that series, but it was still easy to follow along with the characters and plot. The plot was a story most people can relate to, getting dumped. Although getting dumped by your high school sweetheart and then seeing them at working every day might make things a tad more complicated. The characters were interesting and had individualized quirks, but the main character was just too stuck in her past, in my opinion. Prestsater’s characterization was a little too jumpy for my taste. As for the ending, it was too much of a happily ever after (let’s just tie this story in a nice little bow) and occurred way too fast. Overall, I did actually like this book. However, I am recommending it because it is free at barnesandnoble.com and will give readers a taste of Julie Prestsater’s writing style. It’s hard to go wrong with a free book.
