Bring Me Back 🌟🌟
by B. A. ParisPublished June 19 2018 by St. Martin's Press
I have read all three of B A Paris' books and find they follow a pretty similar pattern: Intriguing start; slow, repetitious and annoying in the middle; and a surprising, out of left field ending. At least she has had in all her efforts two-thirds of a good book in the making. But to me that's not really enough. When I read a chapter detailing events from one perspective, and then the very same events are recounted from another perspective, the progress of the story stalls out and makes zero headway. Even moreso when characters are on the unlikeable side. My mind starts wandering...and wondering if I should finish.
I finish most things that I start, but here I admit to skimming some of the Russian doll rhetoric and much of the dialog. The Layla and Ellen "transformations" were quite unbelievable in my opinion but I won't say any more than that.
