Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes

jodieclaes's review against another edition

5.0

So glad I found this book! It was an easy read with enough character development to be realistic and honest. Evvie and Dean have a love based on friendship and attraction while Evvie and Tim have a relationship based on convenience, expectations and comfort. I appreciate that the author explored both of those relationships and allowed Evvie to have her own realizations. While her relationship with Dean is my favorite I really enjoyed Evvie and Andy's honest and true closeness.

Meh...This book needed more plot, more character development, less dialogue. I like that the author touched on the damage that emotional abuse can do to a person, but this book needs a lot more depth and a lot more story.

3.5 stars on the second read. Still too much profanity, but I still liked it generally.

I really liked this one, which was a pleasant surprise! I think I would even read it again.

Healing book olduğunun farkındayım ama maalesef yine de sıkıcıydı ya. Aşırı durağandı, bütün önemli olaylar bir evin içinde olup bitti ve sonu da güzel bağlanamamıştı bence. Çok fazla eksik nokta ve açık kapı vardı. Maalesf beğenemedim. Güzel konu ancak yanlış uygulama diyebiliriz.
