My Fair Brady by Brian D. Kennedy
5.0
I loved Brian's first book, but I think I love this one more! I hope every book of his just gets better and better.
The setup here is adorable of course, as well as a solid teen classic situation. I loved the dual pov, it worked really well to see where the two characters minds were.
It can be so hard to execute two characters who have flaws while making them likable. Wade is a little self centered, Elijah has a lot of self confidence issues. Both of the flaws came through wonderfully, and left me rooting for the characters rather than being annoyed by them.
The drama of who is upset with who, who is talking to who, who has crushes on who, was all perfect to add to the tension of the story. A well versed reader will see where things are going and be so nervous for the characters to find out exactly how things will play out.
On top of that there is a lot of depth to the secondary characters and their world. No one feels like a chariacture. Which made the world leap off the page and feel authentic.
This is exactly the sort of story I wish was made into movies.
12/10!
Thanks Balzer + Bray for the Arc. :)
