My Review
Bittersweet Catastrophe is book #2.5 in the Second
Chances Series, Having read the previous two books in the series I was excited
to get started on this follow on story for Shane & Liberty. I was given an
ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review so here goes...
This book was not what I was expecting at all!!!
If you are looking for a happy go lucky extended
epilogue with a smidge of drama this is NOT the book for you!!!
This book is harsh and heart breaking and incredibly
sad, to be honest I spent the whole book on the verge of tears.
If I hadn’t have been given this book for review I
probably wouldn’t have finished, this is in no way a reflection on the quality
of writing because as always Maureen Mayer’s books are beautifully written. I may
have given up simply because it was just far too sad for me!!!
This book sees Shane & Liberty dealing with a
really shitty hand being thrown at them whilst pregnant with twins.
I don’t want to give too much away as it really will
spoil it for future readers.
This whole book was heartbreaking and to be honest
not really my cup of tea.
I like my books heavily tilted towards happily ever
after and to be honest I don’t really enjoy too many reminders that life is
short and that fate can be fickle.
Please don’t think that I hated it because I
didn’t!!! It just made me sad, by the time I had finished I just wanted to curl
up into a ball with my kids and cry like a baby.
I also want to say Maureen Mayer if you ever read
this..... You almost gave me a heart attack at the end of the last chapter, I
was actually shouting at my ereader!!!
I gave this book 3 stars purely and simply because
it was just too serious and far too sad for me.
Maureen
Mayer was born, raised and currently resides in Buffalo, NY with her
loving and supportive family and boyfriend of 9+ years. She’s
always had a love for the outdoors, and when the city isn’t buried
under snow, she can be found hiking, fishing, camping or lying on the
beach. She’s a sucker for off-color humor, but holds a sweet spot
for sick and twisted horror films. When she’s not writing, you can
find her curled up in bed with her kindle, diving into a steamy
romance novel and falling in love with the latest book boyfriend.
