The book I read for the first quarter is fictional and is called Impossible by Nancy Werlin which is 371 pages long. The main character is named Lucy Scarborough she is faced with a very difficult lifestyle throughout the book. She deals with an insane birth mother and overprotective foster parents which is the least of her problems. Throughout her life she always wondered why she couldn’t have a normal life with a normal mom. Later in the book Lucy attends prom where she gets raped by who she thinks is the love of her life, Gray Spencer. As she tells her foster parents what had happened to her Lucy explains that she feels like someone came over Gray’s body and raped her. She then finds out she is pregnant and that is when Lucy’s foster parents finally explained to Lucy that her real mom is crazy because the girls in her family are cursed. The curse gets the Scarborough girls pregnant and they have to complete three difficult tasks in order to not become crazy after their baby is born. The ticking timer is then set for Lucy to finish the tasks before her baby is born.
Something I loved about the book is the fact that it didn’t even feel like I was reading. I am not one to pick you a book and read on my free time but with this book it was different. Nancy Werlin’s intriguing literacy made it easy to paint a picture in my head of what was happening in the book. Most of the chapters ended on a cliffhanger so most of the major plots were predictable but it was still a good read because I was able to comprehend the book well.
Really surprising plot and I got shocked of the book already by just reading your review. It's great that you pointed out the main problem and the honest opinion about how the read went. Cliffhangers aren't the best, but how this review was done leaves me wanting to know what were the tasks the main character was left to face.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting read from what you have said. This book reminds me of a movie called "Practical Magic, " which is one that I love, so it is intriguing to see that there is a book with a similar plot. Do you think predictable endings are good? Or does making a prediction make you want to keep reading?
