The saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” is well known,
however, I did just this. The cover of this book was what made me want to read
it (of course the blurb had a part in this too) but I felt a little let down.
The basic story line of this book has great potential but I didn’t find the way
it was written did it any favours. Jacqueline repeats herself many times in the
novel and I spent most of the time wondering whether or not I’d already read
the part I was reading (obviously with certain parts this was what the author
intended) but I felt it dragged on quite a lot and I never really got connected
to the character enough to sympathise for her.
I thought the use of emails worked very well in this book and
it gave the reader a sense of time passing. I also liked how the author named
each of the chapters instead of just simply numbering them.
I am not very religious and for me this book had a few too
many religious references to it but I’m sure many of you out there would
disagree with me as everyone has their own opinions.
