Thank you to the author for send me a copy of this book in return for an honest review - this in no way influenced my review as you will see.
I had absolutely no expectations with this book having never heard of the author or of the main character, Emily, but have to say that I was a little disappointed especially having seen the many 4 and 5 star reviews it has received.
Maybe it's me but I just found too much wrong with it to enjoy it and I'm sorry about that. I found nothing redeeming about Emily, I didn't warm to her at all nor did I find any of the other characters particularly likeable or interesting - they were just all a bit weird. I found the dialogue between the characters was stilted and unnatural. The "mystery" the story claimed to be was given away by the title [why would you do that?] and, in fact, the only mystery for me is what significance does the recently deceased dog have to the story [baffled].
I really don't like leaving bad reviews for anyone as I know how much of themselves, blood, sweat and tears the authors put into their writing but I really can't find anything positive about this book apart from that I was glad it was only a short story.
I realise that I am in the minority with my review so I may have missed something so I suggest you give it a go and make your own mind up.
