Okay, so I just finished reading a book called I Prefer the Sunrise by Anna Rea Aberle. It was an okay read. Not something I would read again if I didn't have to. This is my opinion. You would have to read it yourself to make your own opinion of it.
First off, if you are going to give a character green eyes, don't 4 chapters later change that same characters eye color to blue. There is a thing called pen and paper. Write down the characters in you story line and a short biography on how you want them to be portrayed to the readers. Another thing I hate how things skip around a lot. Maybe it is because I know when I talk I tend to start on one story and something distracts me in the story to start another, then some how I get myself back to the original story, just to be sidetracked again.
Okay so this book is about a woman, Alicia Riverdale. She moves with a boyfriend from Colorado to California. She gets a job with a magazine company and ends up moving out of the place that she and her boyfriends shares with another couple. At a Holiday party with that so-called boyfriend she meets Gregory Vincent. She starts dating him and then four shorts months after they start dating he is killed in a bicycle accident. She has some ups and downs in her grieve for him. It takes her about ten years before she gets her feet back on the ground, and finds love again.
Other than a type of romance novel, I'm not sure exactly which genre of romance this book would fall in. It was definitely good, but not great. It would be classified with the ones I think are awesome writers, but it is a good read.
I think this book shows that no matter how long you know the person, you still have the right to grieve. I also think it shows a way that some people grieve. May not be a good way to grieve, but some people grieve the way the main character grieves in this book over the loss of someone she had come to love in such a short time.
Another thing I think this book shows is that no matter what you have to follow your dreams. Doesn't matter how old you get, always steam ahead to follow your dreams, and no matter obstacles get thrown in your path you just have to pick yourself up and keep going.
There is a notes section or questions section at the end, at least there is on the kindle version, not sure if there is a print version, for book clubs. This might be something for a book club to read. Just an idea.
I did download this book onto my kindle. At the time I downloaded it it was free. Can't say for sure if it still is. Always worth a minute to check Amazon's website in the kindle downloads to find out. Remember if you don't have a kindle, and still want to enjoy the downloads, you can download the pc version on their website. You will still get the same stuff as a regular kindle. Not the kindle fire though. Then if you ever break down and buy the kindle you can have all those books that is in your library on your pc synced with your kindle device.
Thank you for reading and I hope you continue to enjoy. Now on to the next read. Not sure if I will start with the first book on my kindle or if I will venture further into the 197 pages of books I downloaded on my kindle device and find something there. Once again thank you for reading. Feel free to follow to keep updated with what I read. Even subscribe to get all the latest updates about what book I have read.
