Good, just not the best i've read from the author

By RebornButterfly,
Authors often tend toward melodrama, but Hake stays away from overdoing anything. Hope’s accent throughout this book is obviously southern without getting annoying or hard to read. Jakob’s grief is authentically shown. I felt compassion for him, yet I didn‘t think he was wallowing in it.
Even the humor is placed beautifully. A father’s wish to get his three daughters married well, is hilarious. The German used in Forevermore is just enough to keep it real. Who knows, you might be able to speak a bit a of German when you’re done with the book!
Hope’s use or, should I say misuse, of clichés is perfectly believable and endearing. The heroine in the book is possibly Hake’s most likable, and I found myself wishing she was my friend. Both Annie and Emmy-Lou have fears that Hope helps conquer.
While the plot was good and kept me interested, I don’t think this is Hake's best work. Nevertheless, I urge you to pick up this book, you won’t regret it! View All Music And Book Reviews By RebornButterfly | View RebornButterfly's Profile
