A review by celinevekeman
Snakes and Lovers by Anne Lovett
3.0
I got a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The main character is Daisy, she works in a bar as a ‘beach bum’. One of her neighbors goes missing leaving her with a snake and her kid named Raj. In the meantime she has to go home again to Sawyer to repair her parents’ marriage while having to confront her first boyfriend Luke who betrayed her.
due to circumstances she has to go on a road trip with Luke, Raj and the snake, searching for her father and raj’s mother.
I’m honestly not sure if I liked this book or not. Let me start by saying what I didn’t like.
This book is categorized as a romance novel, but I didn’t like the romance. This book is more about heartbreak and ex-husbands/wives than it is about romance. The romance part between the two main characters was rushed. Also, I’m going to be honest. I don’t ship them. I can’t stand the behavior of Luke. He’s making important decision’s for her not even caring about her opinion or what she wants. Trying to influence her opinion.
I thought this book was quite difficult to get into as well. I’m not sure if it’s because I can’t really relate or if it was the writing style.
The ending was rushed as well. I really got into it the last 50 pages and the ending disappointed me.
What I did like about the book was that it wasn’t that predictable. I mean of course romances are always predictable but I got surprised by some things.
The main thing I liked is Daisy and her feminism. She’s not depending on men, she’s taking care of her own and showing that she doesn’t need anyone. She has this idea about being independent and free.
Still I think some people will love this book. I give it a 3 stars, because besides what I didn’t like I still sort of enjoyed reading it, especially near the end.
