Love Lies Beneath

As an admirer of Ellen Hopkins' previous works, I found this book to be quite disappointing. There seemed to be missed opportunities for the story to reach its full potential. What a letdown.

Ellen Hopkins is an auto-buy author for me. She is truly one of my top three favorite authors. So when I heard she was coming out with a non-verse adult book, I was ecstatic! I read the synopsis and was super intrigued because I thought it was going to be a psychological thriller, "edge of my seat, omg wtf is going on here?" kind of book. But...NONE OF THAT HAPPENED!!!! Nothing happened. I could read through the book but my anxiety was peaking because NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. The synopsis was a total lie. Tara is unlikable, so is the sister and Graham. Cavin is unlikable also. At some points I was asking myself "my favorite author, Ellen, wrote this trash?" I couldn't understand it. I still don't get it. I am so use to Ellen Hopkins writing complicated characters even some that I don't like. But this? This is not okay. I'm just not okay with this.

In the weeks it takes her to recover, Cavin sweeps her off her feet and their relationship blossoms into something Tara had never imagined possible.
