My
Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this
book!! I really don't remember reading a ton about this book but, when the
sequel Unbreakable came out and everyone was talking about it, I knew I had to
see what this book was about. I had heard Sci-Fi mentioned in many reviews and
I was so curious because I really didn't have any idea about what to expect
when I started this book, Norris created an amazing and adventurous page-turner
that I had such a hard time putting down and each character was so important to
the story I loved every single aspect of this book.
It's hard to talk about the
plot of this book only because one of the aspects that I loved so much was that
I had no idea where the story was going because I didn't know much about what
it was about so I am going to attempt to tell you a bit without saying much
hopefully. Janelle really was your model teenager, she was super smart and had
a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. Her mother has bipolar disorder and
it has left Janelle with helping take care of her family more than your average teenager. Her dad is an FBI
agent and loves his job, he works a lot and she helps with her brother Jared in
so many ways. At first I was wary of
Janelle's dad only because when I first read that Janelle had to take care of
her brother because her dad worked so much I felt bad for her, that her dad
should be the one stepping up and not her but, her dad was great and along with
the FBI job he brought so many more people into her life that cared about her
like his partner Strutz, who I loved he was like a second dad to Janelle and
Jared and cared about them like they were his own.
The romance is hard to describe I didn't fall
in love with it but, I didn't hate it
either and for most of the book the
romance was in the background and I really didn't think twice about it, the
adventure was what I loved the most, never knowing what was going to happen
next. Plus, the book did have a few emotional moments at least they were
emotional for me, it brought tears to my eyes and had me bawling for a few
pages.
Overall, Unraveling was
better than I could have ever expected,
for once the no expectations worked and mine were definitely exceeded. I felt
like this book was a roller coaster ride that I never wanted to end, it gave me
adventure, romance, and the feels which is definitely everything a great book
needs. I can't wait to pick up Unbreakable and see what kind of adventure
Norris leads me on next!
