After my initial hype over Unraveling, I immediately dove into Unbreakable with overly high expectations.
My mistake.


I found myself skimming lines in Unbreakable which is so unlike the situation that happened in Unraveling. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen to spark back up my interest, only for it to be sedated with Janelle wondering about Ben. It also irritated me that Janelle doesn't even bother to think about her mother who may be "dead"
Janelle thinks about Ben and whines more about him then I expected. I also think that Janelle and Barclay had something going on, only for it to never be addressed. The author DID kind of set them up together in the beginning, they had tension, and they emotionally cared about each other. I feel as though they were much too intimate only to be passed off as friends. I think my main problem in this book besides for the writing, the obvious weird plot drops and the dropping of Barclay and Janelle even though they had chemistry was that Ben practically cheated on Janelle. I don't even want to hear about the fact he didn't know it was her. That's so unlike the Ben in Unraveling. Janelle ran into Ben's doppelganger and within a minute knew it wasn't him, you'd think that this Janelle. with her highlights and perfect set eye brows would have been a good give away that, Hey! Wow maybe this isn't Janelle.


Not only that, I would have never expected Janelle to forgive him, and she didnt for a whole day. Which then I expected her to move on from him and that whole Barclay thing to be addressed.
Only it wasn't.


I don't know you guys, maybe it's only me, the reviews for this are so stellar that I feel like the awkward 1% over here. I just wanted MORE from this book than it delivered. More spark... more...character development... anything. So yes, unfortunately I didn't finish probably the last 15 pages of this book, I was too lazy and frankly didn't care.

Me either, kind of disappointing.


Lauri Farrell I loved Barclay
and the fact the her fathers case (that emily character) was resolved i actually got emotional


message 4: by Sakura (new) - added it

Sakura I was rooting for Barclay + Janelle. Even before the Ben & Janelle double situation came into the picture.
Agree on all of your points.


Goldleaf14 I really agree with you. Word for word. You summarized all my thoughts, I'm with you!!
