The Otherworld by Abbie Emmons
3.0
I reviewed this as an ARC reader and will provide my honest feedback.
3.5 stars.
As a fan of Abbie's YoutTube Channel, and a teenager of the 90s, I was excited to read this one.
Although the book started slow for me and its premise reminded me of The Little Mermaid rather than Rapunzel, as noted by many reviewers, it did pick up and the second half was a quick, exciting read. The back-half action, romantic moments, and twists were well-plotted.
The characters of Adam and Jack were likable (although Adam seemed almost too perfect) and Jack's voice came through strong during his POV chapters. I had trouble believing Orca's character the most. Given her sheltered upbringing and having only one person for company throughout her 18 years, she would have felt much more overwhelmed by the people, noises, and new experiences of civilization.
Overall, as a sweet YA romance, this book delivers and will leave you with a feel-good vibe.
PS - I'm loving the Spotify playlist that was made for the book!
