You Before Anyone Else by Julie Cross ( ARC RECEIVED FROM NETGALLEY)

Rating: 3/5

Summary: (x)

My thoughts:
I got this book as an arc from Netgalley.  I thought it was going to be a great book based on the summary by I was not impressed by this book at all. The plot was just really unrealistic and unbelievable. Finley and Eddie were so annoying and I could barely stand them. There were a lot of things that could have been better.
Plot:
There was not much of a plot and the "plot twist" was not even that. I just wished there was more to the plot because the plot was the best part of the book.
Characters:
Finley was the best character in the book. I found that she was a well written character and I could kind of relate to her. Her point of view in the book made the book worth while. Eddie on the other hand annoyed me and his point of  view chapters were very hard to read. The supporting characters were okay but at times distracting from the story.

Plot:

It was very fast paced and well written . There were things I did not like about the plot  but they were trivial. The book kept me guessing and I could not put it down. The plot was the best part of the book.

The plot is pretty straightforward. I like how the plot helped with Eric and Bri's character development. I felt the plot was the strongest part of the novel. It made the story better. My problem with the plot was I felt like it was rushed.
Characters:
I thought Eric was a very complex character. He had flaws that made us see different sides of his personality. Bri was also a well written character. She was strong and knew what she wanted. Her ex was just a plain horrible person. The other characters were interesting and very good.
