Whit by Cora Rose
4.0
3.5 stars
I had Cora Rose on my tbr list for a while now and seeing her attending RARE Paris in 2024 I thought it was about time to finally start reading her.
So Whit was my first book by Cora Rose and I really enjoyed it! It has an easy flow and easy to like characters. However, as we mostly have Caleb's POV he was more "accessible" for me and I wished I had more insights into Whit's thoughts. Yet I think the way the story played out we did get a perfect dose of Whit's POV. I really enjoyed Caleb's ridiculousness, how he baited Whit all the time and how he got Whit come out of his shell.
I wish I could give it more than 4 stars, because the writing style to me was really captivating. But I have some issues that keep me from giving more stars:
1. Character development: we get a good dose of Whit and Caleb together, but even after finishing the book, I have a hard time describing their characters. It feels like we only got to see their surface. And I wished for more depth. More of who they are.
2. Their relationship: Besides their physical attraction and that they basked in the affection of the other, what traits of the other made them fall in love?
3. Their background: both Caleb and Whit's background story fell a little short. I think both pasts played an important part on who they are now. I could have taken some more insights and how it shaped them, how it still influences their present.
4. The end: it felt rushed and cut short. Definitely had potential for more
These are some things I want to mention in this review. Nevertheless Whit is a great book and absolutely worth reading and recommending!
