Watch Over Me
by Mila Gray
I didn’t like this book at all as it was too dramatic and things were shown in detail.
The only thing that I liked about the plot was how Tristan and Zoey told Will straight away that they were seeing each other which meant that the obvious conflict didn’t happen. Everything else that happened was really dramatic or it wasn’t shown at all. In the blurb it says that Zoey has been looking after her mother and little sister for a long time but it doesn’t even mention her little brother, Cole, who is important to the story. It says that Zoey takes care of them all but none of that is shown. Sure, the first chapter said something about Zoey packing Cole’s homework but after that it was like they didn’t even exist.
The main characters were fine but they didn’t really do anything and this book was written in a way that it was as if nothing existed outside of them. Tristan didn’t ever go to work, apart from one of the first chapters and Zoey’s job was only shown to make something happen which made it seem forced. In that chapter where Zoey’s job is shown she meets Tristan’s friends as she’s their waitress then for the next few scenes they’re not even mentioned and then there are scenes where it shows them acting as if they’ve known each other forever when there weren’t even any scenes showing them getting to know more than just each other’s names.
I don’t think this author’s writing is for me because I don’t like how dramatic it is and that nothing really exists apart from the main characters.
