In Search of Lucy by Lia Fairchild
3.0
It had a great concept and started off well. The character of Lucy was troubled and struggling with growing up and a lack of purpose in her life. And while her journey has merit, some things just went outside of the suspension of disbelief.
In particular, her relationships are never actually built, but they change and develop. Occasionally they act as if they had a serious conversation without repeating text (since you know all about Lucy's feeling, so a text that "Lucy and Anne talked for hours about her feelings" is sufficient to some extent)... but overall, the development is harsh and unrealistic.
I didn't like the character of Katie, she was rather shallow and again, her interactions with everyone where false.. Same with other characters.
Basically it was a great concept, but never full delivered for me.
