A review by kyliieamberr
Brave Enough by Kati Gardner
3.0
** I received an ARC from NetGalley and publisher North Star Editions in exchange for my honest review**
“Your smile is one of my favorite things.”… “And not just on you, like, it’s one of my favorite things in this world.”
After finishing this novel, I mainly have positive things to say. I love the setting of the story, I always have been interested in hospital storylines. I really enjoyed how much the characters developed over the length of the story. And I didn't hate any of the characters (besides Natalie, for about half of the book). For me Brave Enough was very fast-paced and a novel I was able to dive deep into immediately, which I loved.
The problem areas for me though are:
- I felt like the plot fell a little short after half of the story. Too much happened to soon, so much that I remember looking at the page I was on thinking "Oh dang, if it's like this half way through, something even better must be coming" To me, nothing else was very interesting besides the ending life decisions for each character.
-One other thing that irked me was how Cason talks about dancing. I understand she is passionate and devastated over the loss of her true love but, the way she was CONSTANTLY talking about herself dancing with perfect this and perfect that, bothered me because I felt like she was one of those snobby performers you see at conventions and competitions (yes, I am a dancer of 18 years so it probably didn't bother most people.)
- I also would have liked to see more of how Cason and Davis get to this point of liking each other, rather then them seeing each other once and being like "OOO I like that person", even though they didn't know who the other was.
I give this story 3.5 stars because it was a cute, quick read that I was having fun with while reading. I also really loved how caring Davis was, even though he was dealing with his own problems he was always right at Cason's bedside when she need "a friend". Definitely recommend this one (:
