The Ladies read Don't Let Go By Michelle Lynn for our September Book.
Synopsis:
Sadie moves to Western College to get away from her former life and start over again. She didn't wake up in random guys bed and be called names and talked about because of the tragedy that was her life.
Brady was the rock star of Western College, but has a secret he is holding and is hoping it stays that way.
Brady sees Sadie walking across the lawn and he knows it is her that he wants to make his. he finds his chance when she comes to his concert, but she leaves before he has a chance to see her.
Finally circumstances line up and they start a relationship. They fall for each other quickly, but they both hold secrets about their pasts that are going to come to the surface sooner rather later.
Book Club Questions and Response:
How we felt about the Sadie and Brady's relationship, on a whole:
Their relationship, compared to real life felt unrealistic and progressed quickly. Their characters could have been created more in depth to feel that their relationship was more believeable. Yes they were both damaged, but Brady was quick to say that he was in love, yet he couldn't expose who his father was?
How we felt about the reason behind Sadie being a (lack of a better word) 'slut'?
This is kind of awkward because it's hard to relate to this. It was both thought about the fact that it may be a little to the extreme, but without going through that there is no way to be sure that this is realistic or not.
How did you feel about Kara?
This girl should have been put into her place. She was all up in Brady's business and the scene where she came to the hospital and was trying to be there for him, but Sadie was told to go home didn't make sense. When Sadie decided to come back to the hospital to prove to Brady she would not leave him, she found Kara lying on Brady's shoulder and he wasn't even moving her off.
How we felt about Grant?
Grant was really built up in this story, it was felt that we found out a lot about Grant, but it makes sense because of the next book we will be better prepared.
How we felt about Jessa?
Her character was the most believable and relatable. She had a lot of spunk and it seemed that she knew what she wanted and overcame enough to be comfortable with who she is.
Overall:
This book would be rated a 3.25 out of 5 because we are hoping for more in book 2 and are thinking this book was just a lead up to bigger and better things to come. This book was good, as there were some points in the book that were interesting and kept us intrigued, but other parts just seemed too far fetched.
We are excited about our next book for October which is going to be Destined to Play by Indigo Bloome, this book is part of a trilogy, so we will actually be trying to read all 3 by the end of November (Destined to Feel #2, Destined to Fly #3) **wish us luck**
