nichole2000 's review for:
A to Z
by Marie Sexton
I think I'm among the minority who actually liked this better than Promises. I know a lot of people were turned off by the dual first person narrative. I personally don't see how she could have written it any other way. First person is so much more intimate than third, and this was the kind of story where the characters' thoughts and feelings and experiences were more important than anything else. It would have lost so much of its impact if all or part of it had been in third person.
And Angelo's voice was so unique; how could she have written him in 3rd person? And why would anyone have wanted her to?
I loved this book. I cared so much about these characters and wanted everything to turn out right for them. I was disappointed when it ended because I just wanted to be there for every minute of their happy ever after.
It was great seeing Matt and Jared from Promises again, and I hope we'll get peeks at Zach and Angelo in future books from Marie Sexton.
*ETA*
