A review by crazychriss93
Cree by H.J. Bellus

3.0

she just lost the love of her life to cancer. and this love isn’t a guy, nor is this love about her age. This love was her mother-in-law, her savior. Now she’s on her own and wants to make the best out of it.

Yeah, sorry but this book is not it for me.

Where do I start?
The writing style is not at all what I would call enticing and something that keeps me going. I didn’t like the language. I don’t know how often I had to read hoe, bitch, and so on. Seriously, I mean, sure, at times it may be funny but not all the time?
And also, everything just happened too quickly. I never really had time to get to know the people. It was all so superficial and in the end I thought that all the characters were just that: completely and utterly superficial. There is no depth in their conversations.

And then there are all those ridiculous ideas, I mean, buying a 5 year old high heel flip flops?? And giving her a make-up kit for herself?? What the ever-loving hell?? I’m no fan.

The characters, as I said, were mainly superficial. I kinda liked them in a way cause I liked their crazy ways but then I was like: Okay, this stuff is ridiculous. But yeah, I don’t wanna judge that. (Hah, yeah, I realize I just did that. Sorry.)
Cree is violent. Seriously, this guy and his fists? Not cool. He also has no idea how to properly apologize.
Little Annie is a cutie. Totally loved her.
Dolly… Yeah, I’m totally constricted. I have no clue what I really think about her. I kinda like her because hell, she is determined now that her ‘bastard’ is finally out of her life. But then, she’s also so… irresponsible. Anyways, she sure is a great mom.
Cree and Dolly are totally irresponsible. I mean, she is like: No, that’s real love, let’s just not think about contraception. Wow. Great. Thanks. So responsible. I’m proud.

The plot was fine but the writing style totally ruined it for me.
