Meet Me in the Middle by Alex Light
3.0
Meet Me in the Middle is incredibly frustrating, and I found myself drifting into ‘what-if’ far too often.
The story focuses on Eden who is trying to get on with life after a crash put her best friend, Katie, in a coma. She blames herself for what happened…not because she was driving, went with Katie or anything that could physically have put her in the frame, but because she was kissing Katie’s brother when Katie snuck out!
Clearly struggling to adjust to life without her best friend, Eden is going through the motions of life and refusing to engage with those who evidently care about her.
When she bumps into Truman, Katie’s brother, the feelings are still there. They spend ages not talking about what happened or how they feel. There’s a few moments that suggest they could resolve things, but then external factors cut in and affect them in ways they’re not ready for.
Everything in this book felt half-formed. Perhaps it reflected Eden’s mental state, but the inability of anyone involved to talk to each other was frustrating.
