When You Came Back

I voluntarily reviewed a copy from the Rachel E. Carter YA Book Club on Goodreads. 

I pretty much have mixed feelings for this book because although the story was cute and somehow relatable, there were just a lot of flaws. If I'm going to start nitpicking this book, I'd come out with a lot of plot holes. Some things just didn't make sense, and I hate that it had to have a love triangle. It didn't really need that, but the author throws it in. 

It was also lacking character development. But we can't expect everything about the characters to be resolved in just 200 pages, right? Especially with a plot that you can greatly expand into something more complicated. What really drew me into the story, though, was Brian's mysterious past. In my opinion, it was well thought of and well done. I can see the author going places with stories like this one. There's a need for improvement, but I'm sure that can be done as the author continues to write more.

I'm not certain if I want to read book 2 because I know it's heading in the love triangle direction, and I'm not really into that crap *insert laughing emoji*. But we'll see. I'd be interested to find out what happens next.
