Did not finish book.
Review of Unfolding by Jonathan Friesen.
Rating: 1/5 stars.
I seriously had troubles reading this book, and If I have to be completely honest, I only read the 60% of it, as my Kindle app said.
Yep, another one that I didn't finish. Holy c*** 2017 didn't start in the right way. But I just couldn't take it anymore!
I was really interested in this one, because the plot sounded intriguing:
·
Jonah wishes he could get the girl, but he’s an outcast and she’s the most perfect girl he knows.
And their futures seemed destined to fork apart: Jonah’s physical condition is debilitating, and epileptic seizures fill his life with frustration. Whereas Stormi is seemingly carefree, and navigates life by sensing things before they happen. And her most recent premonition is urging her to leave town.
When Stormi begs Jonah for help, he finds himself swept into a dark mystery his small town has been keeping for years. And the answers Stormi needs about her own past could possibly destroy everything Jonah has ever known—including his growing relationship with Stormi herself.
·
But everything was just so confusing, the story wasn't developed, every little event that happened didn't have a logic and it was connected to nothing, they were all a sequence of nonsense events. The characters are presented as the synopsis tells us but they're underdeveloped, they don't have substance, they're flat.
Jonah is the victim of the situation, he's epileptic, and he has a huuuuuge inferiority complex, but c'mon boy YOU HAVE TO FIGHT BACK.
Stormi at the beginning seems like another badass girl but... She's not, and I ended up hating her.
And then there's Arthur. The intelligent one, at least only at playing chess. Oh my God he's so stupid. So so so stupid. I highly hope his character gets better from where I left off, because I had faith in him.
·
In the end: nope. I mean, if you want to read this book, go ahead, this is only my opinion, but I warned ya!
