libraryjen 's review for:

If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson
3.0
emotional fast-paced
Strong character development: No

I should start by saying that I'm not a fan of the insta-love trope. This story was beautifully written, but I didn't buy into the depth of their relationship so quickly. I was hoping for more character development when the story just ended abruptly. Sadly, it ended too soon, before I really grew to care too much for the characters or really into their relationship. I obviously see and agree with the author's point, but wanted this book to be more powerful than it was. 3 stars
