Review
What a great book! Once I started it, I
could not put it down. There were so many aspects to this story that held my
attention! Every idea I had about each of the characters in the beginning was
changed as the story unfolded. All in a good way, too.
Gen amazed me. There were so many
situations that should’ve taken her to a very low point and caused her to
become very bitter, but she didn’t let it. She let each defining moment shape
her in a positive manner. They drove her determination. A lot of times we see
characters with her background who are extreme in their behavior, but Gen wasn’t
at all. It was very refreshing. And reading about her training for the Alpine
Mudder… well, it kind of made me feel like I wanted to train for one.
Then Lewis. I kind of wanted to hate him,
but I couldn’t. At all. He was so fiercely protective of those he cared about
that it sometimes caused problems. But he needed a girl like Gen to call him on
his non-sense and make him open his eyes to the destruction that devotion was
causing. And his strength while he was training her… hot. I’d absolutely do a sporting
event if Lewis was going to change me!
I absolutely adored this book! The story
flowed well and had the right amount of drama to keep me interested without
adding unnecessary drama. I was captivated and couldn’t peel my eyes away. I
cannot wait for the next story to come out!
