The Exceptions

Melody Izard

My husband loves the Dollar Tree; or The Tree as he affectionately calls it. He loves a good bargain and he loves a good book. This was one of his bargain book finds at The Tree. 

He is not content to have found a good book at a bargain price at his beloved Tree. He wants me to agree that shopping at the Tree is good so he declared this book to be the best he had read all year. He really built it up. I had to read it, there was never a doubt.

It takes a while to rev up - but once it does I say it deserves 4 stars. There were two big issues. The biggest was the main female character is named Melody and my name is just rare enough that it is disconcerting to read about someone with my name. I really have been able to live my life without having to share it with many people I come in contact with. I know that is silly - but it is the truth. The slowness to get through the predictable to the interesting stuff was my other issue. I had a couple of other things too - but I won't mention them because I'd have to tag it as a spoiler. But definitely a worthwhile read. If your name is not Melody you might rate it higher.
