Behind Closed Doors: My first read from this author but not my last.. :)
Now, first I have to say I adored the story though for some reason I feel it was missing something; I canât quite put my finger on what it is (so obviously it didnât take away from the story too much ;-)). I loved the beginning (**somewhat spoiler alert**) because it got me hooked with the âmistressâ bit and thatâs always a sign of good to come. As I read more of the story, I felt I needed to know more about âHunterâ but there just wasnât enough of his background in the story and I felt there couldâve been more detailed instances of bonding between him and Elle. I did love Hunterâs sweetness /gentleman tendencies toward her though and I could definitely feel the sense of calm that Elle felt from him and his understanding of her made him so dreamy. Itâs also nice for the girl to get the good guy after ditching the douche (finally lol). I was a bit disturbed by the sudden endings of what seemed like an interesting budding romance (on again/off again throws me off sometimes) but all in all, the story recovered nicely. I finished the novella smiling and that is what I care about most.
Nice read
I like to read stories that are close to real life situations, something I can imagine happening. In this story, the wife is unable to decide whether to keep up appearances or leave her cheating husband. And then there is a new love in her life. (I'm trying to avoid spoilers so I don't want to write a lot from the story.)
The first-person narrative is often not my favorite, but here I liked the personal feel. I could feel some of the main character's emotions. And the book was easy and quick to read.
What I didn't like is her indecisiveness and self-humiliation. Of course this is so in the real life as well, and the story needs such elements to make the point, but I felt it was a bit too much. Also, some of the twists of the story are a bit over the top.
What I liked a lot is the message of the book that you can pick yourself up and start all over again. At any age. And because of that I gave it one star more than originally planned.
Disappointing - a waste of time
Even though I don't usually write negative review, I thought that I would make an exception. It started out as an interesting story, but it lost its way. I also didn't find the characters that believable or likeable.
Awesome!
This was the first book I have read by this author. I really enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading this author again.
Five Stars
Short and sweet.
