Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson

4.0

I've read lots of dual-timeline novels, but I'm not sure I've ever read a triple-timeline one. I like the format and found all of the different stories in MIDNIGHT AT THE ELECTRIC interesting for different reasons. I also liked the way all three threads connected in theme, place, and relationships. Since there's little plot, though, the stories move rather slowly. The book's not long enough for them to get boring, they're just not always...exciting, if that makes sense. Overall, not a whole lot happens in the book. I still found the novel compelling enough to read all the way through, although it's not exactly a page-turner. Also, because none of the characters really get a traditionally happy ending, none of the stories truly felt complete or totally satisfying to me. In the end, then, this was just an okay read for me. I liked it, didn't love it. If I could, I would give the book 3 1/2 stars; since I can't, I'm rounding up.
