Donna's Reviews > Dancing on Broken Glass

This book took me by surprise. It started out as a solid 3 stars. I liked the characters, but the story wasn't really pulling me in. I was noticing the writing though. This author has the kind of descriptive style I enjoy regarding the characters, setting, and emotional planes. The details were rich and they painted a picture with a nice depth. I always enjoy that. Then the story began to reel me in, even though the plot was predictable and a little on the sappy side. However, by this time I was definitely in.

I rarely get emotional over a book. It might happen once year. After finishing this one, I guess I can check the "emotional" box off for this year, because I was completely wrapped up in this one. Even with that said, I was still prepared to give this 3,5 stars, but the ending made me a little uncomfortable. The author didn't make all my predictions come true. I liked the surprise, even though it was unsettling for some reason. I thought this book was well done. So 4 stars.
