If I'm Being Honest

Urghh I wish Goodreads had half star ratings, but this isn't quite a two star read, but it's definitely not a three.

Let me begin by saying I really enjoyed this book. Cameron's problems felt real and her honesty was refreshing at times. That being said, after finishing the book, all I could think about were issues I had with it's overall resolution. Truth be told–if I'm thinking about the book after I finish it, as well as “improving” it in my mind, it means I actually liked the book; I don't think about books I didn't like for the most part.

So, my main issue was Cameron's forgiveness of her mother. Her mother basically abandoned her after she was able to take care of herself and her mother. Given what we know about Cameron, it was an insufficient resolution, IMO. I'm not sure insufficient is the right word, but it just didn't mesh with the character I read about. I also wanted Cameron to have more of a fight with her father, but maybe that's just the b!tch in me. Same goes for Elle (and Morgan by proxy). Maybe it was a grown-up ending and I wanted more happily ever after? It just didn't work for me.

This is the first book by these authors, and I'll definitely try another. 3.5 stars
