mrsbofe 's review for:
The Conspiracy of Us
by Maggie Hall
Just finished this book, and can't figure out whether I enjoyed it or what I how feel about it all.
The cover art was amazing, really drew me in, I was expecting it to be in a different time frame for some reason with the title and cover art.
Anyway, I enjoyed the book enough to read it all, but not sure if I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the series, which I will probably at some point read though. It wasn't a favorite, but had a decent storyline that slightly pulled me in. The supposed love triangle really wasn't there in my book, and seemed to really push for the "he's so built, I can't help but notice how gorgeous he is", wasn't well done in my book.
Avery has been a loner her whole life with her mom uprooting her all the time and moving for her job and such, so she never lets friends get too close because she'll be moving again soon. She has no idea who her dad is and has this made up theory about how amazing he is. The cutest new guy in school, Jack, asks her to prom and she says no, but then at the last minute, lies about it all, and meets up with him which spirals the whole evening into some dramafest of her kind of being kidnapped, but yet willing to go in the hopes of meeting her dad. From there there's drama, many questions raised about old books, power and greed, and maybe some kind of love.
Things I liked:
1. The storyline moved along finally after the first 100 pages or so and was then enjoyable
2. Characters were fun
Things I didn't like:
1. The supposed love triangle was non-exsistent and cheesy
2. Hated how easily Avery just forgave Jack and acted like nothing happened...really?
3. Stellen was not much in the book for the attention he is supposed to now have
4. Didn't draw me in as far as series go, I liked it, but didn't love it
5. I don't feel the need to hurry and wait for the next book, but will read it at some point
Overall, it was a fine book, but not a favorite. Would recommend for a light read.
