Let me start by saying, I really
love Cora Carmack’s writing. She is so funny, and puts her characters in the
most awkward situations, which makes for some really great stories! I’m sorry
to say, Seeking Her fell a bit short
of my expectations.
Seeking
Her is a novella to along with the book Finding
It, which I rather enjoyed and you should definitely read before Seeking Her. Our books gives a bit of
Jackson and Kelsey’s story, from Jackson’s perspective, but it really only
tells the story up to the point where Kelsey and Jackson start to get to know
each other, then it’s over. Of course, if you’ve read Finding It, then you know what happens after this, but I thought
there would be more. We do get some good background on Jackson, but that’s
really it. And the tone was much more serious than any of Cora’s other books.
I’m glad I read the book, but I
also think we could have been given all the new stuff we get during some added
conversations during Finding It. When
I read a novella I want enough new information to make it worth reading. And I
don’t think Seeking Her did that.
The book still gets 3 ♥s though
because the writing is great and we do get to know Jackson, especially his
motivation for things I won’t mention in case you haven’t read Finding It. If you have read it then you
know what I’m talking about, because you already know his biggest secret.
I recommend reading any of the
other books in the Losing it series. The books are funny with the right amount
of seriousness when needed. Start with Losing
It, which is my favorite, and I don’t think you will be sorry you did. And
I’m really looking forward to Cora’s next series, Rusk University, the first of
which is due out May 13th. I’ve already preordered my copy!
