When books are written in dual perspective I think they should be told in the same point of view to help unify things. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts!

But I do appreciate it when at least one pov works for you and I think I could still enjoy this because of Ada. I have this book coming up pretty soon, but your review has also reminded me that I need to get to Small Damages asap too!

The whole idea of jumping the wall and his hesitation would probably bother me. Anyhow I want to see this author's writing so I think I'll go with Small Damages.

Must be hard to write a balanced review for this book haha. I'm really curious about the writing since you emphasized how beautiful it is. I must check this book out someday. :) Thank you for introducing me to this author, hun! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-61773914722901947152014-03-24T02:48:04.194-04:002014-03-24T02:48:04.194-04:00I never like being conflicted, so I worryI never like being conflicted, so I worryBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-8487530117619934142014-03-24T01:07:51.035-04:002014-03-24T01:07:51.035-04:00Aww, sorry it didn't work for you, Keertana. I...Aww, sorry it didn't work for you, Keertana. I couldn't bring myself to finish this book. I've had very little luck with Kephart's books. Although, the plot of Small damages was lackadaisical, I could get along the story, while Going over had some confusing parts and Ada's character was exasperating. However, I'm thinking of giving Kephart's book another chance before giving up. <a href="http://honeybeeslittlecorner.wordpress.com">Honey Bee's Little World</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/05665574587520464404noreply@blogger.com
