Losing It by Cora Carmack
1.0
These reviews I have been reading for this book kind of sicken me. I went into this thinking it would be an endearing tale. Instead, about twenty pages in I wanted to gouge my eyes out. I'll start with the obvious.
The name Bliss...I mean, seriously?! Just the name alone feels like the author is trying too hard in order emphasize she is a virgin. I would have liked a different name that doesn't feel too heavyhanded. On the same lines of names, it desperately irritated me when 90% of the dialogue tagged who the person was talking it. "Don't you think that's good, Carl?" As an example.
I may be being peevish, but there were simple grammatical errors in my ebook copy. Randomly capitalized words and incorrect dialogue tags. It led me to believe that there wasn't much editing going on.
I feel the author tried too hard to be lyrical in places where lyricism was not necessary. She would get the point across easier without having to overdo descriptions. And the mono? Seriously, it was a bit overdramatic.
I will definitely NOT be reading the following sequels or whatever. There are too many things wrong with this book. I am amazed it even got published.
