The Last to Let Go by Amber Smith
3.0
overdramatic
I chose this book from a list for “new and engaging LGBTQ books” created for pride month. I read the synopsis and figured I would try it. I finished this book to see if it was going to be a dramatic metaphor and for that reason only. Why couldn’t the book be about domestic violence and not just throw on that she’s figuring out her sexuality? It makes it feel forced and as if that was added in to make it more of a hot topic. I was really looking forward to getting into Brooke’s mind, but instead, a lot of it was the script for Law and Order. I wanted a clear line for the plot and characters, but I feel like I got a collection of all possible issues and little to no solutions.
