Review of 'Best Kind of People' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was ok. The story moved quick at the start and the characters are all great. But then it started to drag and I felt like "ok can we just get on with this please"? Then it picked up and started to move quick again and then BAM "the end". The end felt very rushed and not satisfying at all. It felt like the author was tired of writing this story and just wanted to conclude it to move onto something else and tried to tie everything up real neat with a pretty bow and call it a done deal. Which is too bad because the premise of the story is awesome and the characters were so wonderful. I really wanted the ended to be more meaningful in some way and I felt like there was no effort there.
