Intervention
The cover is awesome and I liked Mia Kerick a lot in her [b:The Red Sheet|20619717|The Red Sheet|Mia Kerick|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1404223437s/20619717.jpg|39903794], so I had great expectations about this one. However, it started weak, it finished weak and everything in between felt long.And if I ever hear "bro" or "dude" another one time, I won't be held responsible for my actions. And saying "J" for Jamie when the name is so short and beautiful was something I couldn't explain. No comments about "K" for Kai. It all irritated me immensely.
Maybe I'm giving too much importance to small facts but truth is, when I get bored, I pay too much attention to collateral details. In those cases I can remember foods, nicknames and Science exams in books even better than what the characters do during the whole story.
I couldn't shake the feeling this book was a copy of [b:Omorphi|17835592|Omorphi|C. Kennedy|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1377651037s/17835592.jpg|24956179]. It's quite similar. YA book with a sporty MC1 who meets the MC2 who is always beautiful and blond and has had a traumatized past in the hands of a relative who was supposed to protect him. And of course, MC1 wants to protect him and rescue the damsel in distress. It was too pretentious and sometimes I rolled my eyes at all the drama llama. The music theme was too pretentious for me. The artsy theme was too pretentious for me. I didn't like Omorphi and hearing the same music here didn't help, not when the author wasn't able to make up for such an unoriginal plot.
There is a bad very bad person, a loyal very loyal friend and counselor, and a sad very sad conflict that makes the heroes closer and that consolidates their relationship. So far, nothing new and interesting.
