Fable by Adrienne Young
2.0
I REALLY wanted to like this):
The cover is still one of my faves, but the story just didn't do it for me. I'm not a big "adventure lost at sea/pirate story" type of gal to start, but I still figured I'd give this one a chance. I enjoyed the parts about family and romance, and the author writes about love really well, but she noticeably uses a lot of the same metaphors and similes several times throughout the novel. There's also this theme about "never letting anyone know what's important to you" and it was super repetitive at times. It took me SO long to get through this book, and I really wish it was worth it. This is the first time Reese Witherspoon's book club has let me down lol.
