Status Updates From Big Mouth Blues

Didn't think I'd like this book (because of my age, it's clearly a YA romance) BUT... I'm pretty sucked in.

A lot of telling, not a lot of showing... it's a tragic tale.

I'm seriously enjoying this book. I'm getting Rainbow Rowell vibes from this author's style and am loving it. Here's one of my favorite lines so far. "He brushes curly bangs out of my face. My insides do a double flip when his gaze lingers on my lips for a moment. 'Just try to stay out of trouble, will ya, Freckles?'"

I reached Chapter 2, which my previous update was meant for the Introductory section as I reached Chapter 1. Chapter 1 is excellent with an intense tone and strong character POV. I could imagine what the character was feeling to the point it was frightening. The cliffhanger is an "on the edge of your seat" scene. Chapter 2 coming up next!

Reached Chapter 2...The writing structure is choppy, a mix of complete sentences and fragments. The writing style and storytelling is truly brilliant that those errors don't matter. The writing pulled me in since the first paragraph and I had to catch my breath at the end of Chapter 1. I was there, I felt her emotions, I heard her thoughts, I saw her dad. It was truly brilliant. I'm anxious and eager for Chapter 2.
