I was
anxiously awaiting the release of the novel
Hooked
by
Catherine Greenman. However, it left a lot to be desired.
It is a book about a pregnant teens that doesn’t focus solely on the
focus.
Many of the reviews I have read
complained about this, but I liked that aspect.
I feel that while a pregnancy is a huge part of someone’s life, it doesn’t
define every aspect of their life.
When
Thea gets pregnant of course her entire life changes, but she doesn’t let that
stop her life.
She falls into motherhood
with a new passion: crocheting.
With
that passion comes a goal to crochet her first bikini.
I wasn’t disappointed by this story, but more with the way it was told.
The novel was longer than it needed to be and
felt a little unfocused.
I wanted a
little bit more from the characters, who were interested, but still a little
one dimensional.
I did enjoy the concept
and felt that it was told from the heart.
I still recommend this book, realizing that I may not have been the
intended audience and that other readers may gain quite a bit from this read.
Happy Reading!
