I usually stay away from the books with mother/daughter or divorce issues, but I liked this. ( ) I like Laura Moriarty. I really do. She's really, really nice and her first novel, [b:The Center of Everything|229201|The Center of Everything|Laura Moriarty|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1308959653s/229201.jpg|1721240], was quite good. I had a lot of hopes for her. I scooped her second novel up right away. Huge disappointment. And when the third, While I'm Falling came out, I was slow to buy it and even slower to get around reading it. Word came out that a fourth novel was on its way, so I thought I better get to it. Another huge disappointment. Did I mention I really like Laura Moriarty? 'Cause I do. It's just that The Center of Everything was good; and The Rest of Her Life (TRoHL) and While I'm Falling (WIF) were not. Now, this review is about WIF, but it easily applies to TRoHL. And since I didn't write a review for the earlier book, this counts as a review for both. The problem with both books is that there isn't much of a story. There's potential for a story, but it just never develops into anything that should be longer than thirty pages. Another problem with both novels is that they're filled with unlikable characters. I don't mean characters that are bad human beings, because those can be fun; rather, characters that are incessantly whiny in an annoying way and bring nothing of quality to the world of literature. Imagine a book about Bella Swan having a bad week: That's the premise of WIF. WTF? Despite having been so disappointed two times in a row, I am still a fan of Moriarty's. I think she definitely has potential and I can't help but blame some outside force for the decline. I will be reading The Chaperone when it is released in June. Something tells me this will be the one that brings her out of her slump. I still believe in you, Laura. Oh, what a disappointment this book is! After reading The Center of Everything, I was eagerly anticipating another wonderful book by the same author. The story line of a college age girl whose parents are getting a divorce simply felt contrived, flat and lacking of depth. I finished the book, but long about 1/2 way through I wanted to chuck it out a 20 story window. Not recommended. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
