I don’t mind reading “taboo” or forbidden romances that explore age gaps and other aspects between their leads. I have a hard time believing he gets 2 girls to fall for him honestly.
I didn’t even make it to Manning’s (our hero?) first POV chapter but his dialogue with Lake in the chapter before did nothing for me. She felt like the basic prototype of what a contemporary romance heroine should be but with no extra embellishments. I think that is supposed to be her calling-card though–the naive good girl who falls for the bad boy–but it was taking too long for me to get interested enough in her. I don’t know how one girl could be so out of touch with reality and popular culture. Lake (our heroine) is about as exciting as paste drying. It almost added a nostalgia factor to the story (even if I was a baby that year!) What I Didn’t Like: There’s a nuance to setting the story in that year that I think we forget about as modern readers. I thought it was super cool that this story starts in 1993. But I was excited to start this last fall when I wanted some juicy drama. Like many books I add to my personal collection, it was a few years before I got around to it. I love a good forbidden romance, which is why I probably picked this up when it was a freebie one day on Amazon. Find out why below… Why I Picked it Up / My Expectations: Publication Dates: February 2017 – February 2018ĭisclaimer: I stopped reading Something in the Way at 13% (Start of Chapter 4). Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn’t matter. That no matter how much you achieve, none of it matters if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. But I’d learn that life isn’t always fair. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, through his struggle to keep me innocent, and through infinitely-starry nights-I would wait. I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn’t be broken…no matter how hard we tried. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents’ house.
