3.5 out of 5 stars
Did I enjoy the story? YES
Was
it well written? YES
Was
it B.A. Paris worthy? NOT AT ALL
If you
are a thrill-seeking, edge of your seat, waiting for the Paris twist reader,
you will NOT find it here. I am not even sure what genre this book belongs to –
contemporary, family drama, maybe? Most readers
shelved it as Psychological thriller, suspense, or the like. I am guessing that
is because of the expectation of Paris. I had it originally classified there
AND her other books fit that genre. But this one is NOT. It will be a
disappointment for Paris fans.
Like
I said, I did enjoy the book and appreciated the “dilemma”, but I can’t help comparing
it to Paris’s other novels. “The Dilemma” is just not the same. If you are looking
for complicated family drama and moral debates with well-developed characters,
this is a GREAT one. Honestly, I did enjoy it. BUT if you want B.A. Paris’s
gripping writing and plot twists with fantastic character development - skip this
one.
Hope
she goes back to her Thrill seeking, edge of your seat writing style with her
next novel.
