Saving Wishes by G.J. Walker-Smith

3.0

Well...I just don't know what to think about this one. It started off really slowly for me...I was having a hard time getting sucked in. It's the kind of book where the author doesn't really explain much right away, but talks like we know what's what....which is not my personal favourite. And in the end, I still don't necessarily get why she thought she was so crazy. Charli just seemed spirited to me. I was very interested in the Adam/Charli romance, even if it started off kind of slowly and in a weird direction. Then the book went where I didn't expect, and I guess I can honestly say I didn't realize this wasn't a stand alone novel. About 60% in I started getting super into it, and I was feeling more for Charli and understanding her a bit more (at the beginning she just seemed...wow, crazy. Huh. I just threw myself for a loop there). Loved the Alex side story. In some ways it was about a real life person, with slightly more normal problems (not huge dramas)...and the romance was kind of real life for a 17 year old too. But maybe I didn't necessarily want real life. Or, I don't even know. I read the first few teaser chapters of the next one and I admit I'm intrigued, but...well, I guess we'll see how much it is when it comes out. And here ends the babbling non-sensical review that will have helped no one....
