Blog Tour w/Review: What Goes Around by Rachel Ellyn

I was happy to find this short book because it was the perfect piece of escapism. There were not a lot of deep thoughts or plot twists to complicate matters. I was able just to read and enjoy the ride.

Alice was a character that many people could relate to – a scorned woman who wanted to get on with her life but still had enough anger left for some revenge (even though it’s not exactly what she thought she needed).

The author did move things right along, so there was not a lot of time to dig deep into motivation or reasoning. Events happened, and repercussions that led to more decisions.

(I know this all sounds a little vague, but because the story is brief and the action moves quickly, I don’t want to give away any of the plot points)

I thought the author did a great job of tracing the indecisiveness of Alice. There were times when she seemed thoroughly happy with where she was, yet in an instant was insecure and doubting the trajectory of her new life. There were moments that it was hard to tell if Alice was relying on what she thought was happening with her trinkets, or if she was finding the strength within herself to move on. I liked this dual focus. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
