Today I want to do a book review on Erica James novel entitled 'A Breath of Fresh Air'.
I bought this novel on Sept 2015 last year and I honestly didn't like it. It just couldn't keep me interested and took me months to finally get around to finish it.
After tragedy, how do you find love again? Don't ask me, ask Charlotte. Charlotte is the main character of the story. She was too depressing after the death of her husband. I just couldn't understand why she had to be so guilty about Peter's death while the fact that she didn't love him!
Well, I know somehow she felt guilty because she asked for divorce from Peter and that saddened him. The very same day Charlotte asked for divorce, Peter was killed in a tragic accident. So, Charlotte was feeling overly guilty till she couldn't figure out her own feelings towards Alex. Here comes Alex, the bachelor next door. Nevertheless, they ended up being together at the end. Cliche'.
I tried so hard to finish this book. I had to finish something that I have started. The book bored me to death. Too many nosy people, and irrelevant characters which I think not helpful to the plot. This however was enough to make me look for another book to read. I had to force myself to read every single pages every night before going to bed. I always find myself reading the novel half way through because this novel lacks excitement and character.
There wasn't anything special or surprising elements about the story. The outcome was predictable from reading the first few chapters. I felt so tired reading this novel and when I finally finished it, I felt so much relief. Now it can sit with the rest of the books on my shelf of disappointment.
Its good to read, seriously!
Happy reading people..
