Shady Cove: New Girl in Town by Ava Catori
Shady Cove had a decent synopsis and a great cover so I
decided to give it a try. I have read
other works by Ava Catori with great covers and ended up being flops. This book was not much different. It started off ok and I kept thinking it was
going to get better, but this book just didn’t go anywhere but down hill; it
hit a rut and the tires just kept spinning.
After a while I started skimming and the book still didn’t pick up the
pace. I might try one more book by this
author because the covers just keep pulling me in, but if it does not get
better after that I’m done.
The character’s lacked depth and emotion, I mean the girl
lost family member after family member and just fought with her dad, come
on. And the whole Aunt Bea thing was
straight out of Mayberry. I just couldn’t
connect. Also, this book was labeled NA
and it was most certainly not. I would
say YA at best. Another disappointing story
with a decent cover; such a shame.
Synopsis:
Can a big city girl go country? Jenna’s life grinds to a
halt after her brother’s suicide. With her college funds non-existent and her
future plans put on hold, she’s forced to relocate to a sleepy town. Just when
her entire world is crumbling, she meets Benji Preston, a local guy she doesn't
expect to fall for. He's not even her type! A harmless flirtation quickly
escalates into something more. The only catch? He’s the same guy her cousin has
been harboring a crush on for ages. With tongues wagging and jealousy dogging
her every step, Jenna has to decide what's more important; her heart or her
family ties?
ing to get better, but this book just didn’t go anywhere but
down hill; it hit a rut and the tires just kept spinning.
