To Get to the Other Side by Kelly Ohlert
1.0
In a big city, Trixie sees a chicken running across the street. Being that she works with animals at the animal shelter, she couldn’t help but get this chicken to safety and give it the help it needs. She names this chicken Chick Chick and brings it home to her apartment where she isn’t allowed to have any pets.
Trixie is caught with her chicken and is told that she needs to move out within week!! So she looks for an apartment that she can afford and luckily finds one where she will be someone’s roommate.
Her friend tells her that she should invite this potential roommate to a game just to see how he really is. Trixie thinks that’s a great idea and invites this roommate, named Bear, to the game and he accepts. Trixie ends up moving into Bear’s apartment.
What happens with Chick Chick? What happens to Trixie and Bear’s living situation?
I thought this was a cute concept, but I really didn’t see the appeal of both characters and I didn’t see their chemistry. I liked that this book dove a little deeper about how they are psychologically like why one pushes the other away, but I also felt like their flaws were awkwardly added instead of naturally added. I also thought it was weird when Trixie and Bear’s little niece had a lemonade stand to make some money and Trixie accepted half the money from Bear’s niece. I get that she was desperate for money, but I also cringed when I read that.
I didn’t really enjoy reading this book and saw the opportunity to listen to the audiobook. I figured that might help me enjoy the book more, but the male’s voice annoyed me and I didn’t find it appealing.
