Last Chance Books by Kelsey RodkeyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
While I perfectly liked some aspects of Last Chance Books, the things that were troublesome for me unfortunately added up for an inclination toward the “didn’t-care-much-about-it” territory. And that’s actually sad, since I enjoyed the author’s writing and some parts were actually laugh out loud funny, but I don’t know, I expected more I guess.
Starting with our main characters, both Madeline and Jasper were a little too all-over-the-place for my liking. Like I couldn’t figure out their personalities up until the point in the book where I was no longer invested in their story. While I understand they are teenagers (believe me, I understand, I was one too) and are entitled to be selfish and moody, there has got to be a balance between the good and the bad. I can’t invest myself much when I have a hard time liking the people I am reading about.
But removing the fact that pretty much every character felt underdeveloped to me, I really think there is an undeniable talent in there, and I am really up for more from the author in the future.
