OLDER - Jennifer Hartman

 


PLOT 

Before he discovered my age, he uncovered my heart.
Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.
A chance encounter. An unspoken connection.
I was smitten; he was curious.
But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.
He called me Halley, like the comet.
I called him Reed.
And my best friend?

Well…she called him Dad.

OVERALL VIEW

 I would represent " Older" as walking into a frozen river. The initial contact is a blow that takes your breath away, slowly starting to numb your limbs, until you barely feel them anymore. After that, when you decide to go out, at first it's like you feel nothing, but little by little you start to regain your sensations and the only thing you have left is the adrenaline of having dived into the freezing water. 
A wonderful experience that you think about doing again, but not immediately.

 WHAT I LIKED

I really liked the fact that the heroine despite her strong character had the strenght to be vulnerable and ask for help. In a certain sense she was fearless even though she was full of fearnes. 
I really liked that she didn't give up. 

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKED SO MUCH 

The book was quite repetitive in some parts, and this led to in being longer than expected, making me lose connection at some point. Then resumed at the end. 
In some cases the heroine gave me the impression of being a little bit desperate, rather than in love.
