Review
Letting Go had a lot of stuff that I love with books. It has two great main characters, an interesting love/hate relationship, and one of my ultimate favorites, a road trip.
I was instantly drawn to this book because of the road trip aspect, and also the love story. For the most part I really enjoyed this book. Like I mentioned, the main characters were brilliant, and I really enjoyed their dynamic. I even thought that the use of third person narration worked well, even though I usually tend to prefer first person in books like this.
Really the downside of this book is also a positive. I didn't feel like it was long enough. I loved the characters and the setting, and the developing relationship. I just didn't feel like we were shown enough of it. The book is really short, just 132 pages, and I flew through it and didn't want it to end. I wanted the trip to be longer, and I wanted there to be just a little bit more development with the characters.
I wasn't ready to give these characters up, and yet I reached the end of the trip abruptly, and then the end of the book not much long after. I wanted a little bit more, because what there was of these characters, was fantastic.
