The leaving season by Cat Jordan

The Leaving Season

Rating: 2/5

Summary:
Middie Daniels calls this the leaving season. Her boyfriend is leaving for a gap year in South America. She thinks he is perfect and promises to come back to her. Then a tragedy strikes and the only person who understands her is Nate's best friend Lee. Lee and Middie do not get along at all but he might be able to help her.
My thoughts:
This book was a heap of  disappointment. I wanted to not finish the book but I ended up finishing the book. The plot was boring a predictable and the characters fell flat. I was hoping for a good summer set book but it was just bad. I wish I had not read this book.
Plot:
It was bad and did not have anything substantial. The plot twists were predictable and rather boring. I hated the love triangle. It made the plot worse.
Characters:
Middie was obnoxious and hard to relate to. Lee was the only character I could kind of tolerate. Nate from the little I read was boring.

My thoughts:
This book was one of  the most anticipated books on my TBR. I was so excited about this book and I could not put it down. I was hooked from the first page and it was love from then on. I just cannot say enough good things about this book. Just pick it up and see why I love it. I cannot wait for the sequel.
The Plot:
This was a page turner and kept me up late. It was so engaging  that I could not wait to see what was going to happen. It was not slow  nor predictable at all. I did not feel like it dragged in the middle like some books do. The plot twists were kinda predictable but not.
The Characters:
I really liked Amani and she was a strong, well written character.  She was a very strong women and knew what she wanted. Now on to Jin. He annoyed me at first but he grew on me. There could be some room for improvement for his character in the next book. The other characters are also very good and well written.
