While other readers will probably enjoy the story it just wasn t my cup of tea I felt that the characters were somewhat one dimensional and I felt no rapport with any of them I think if back story had been given I might have been intrigued In some instances I felt that the characters reactions where unrealistic One case in point is that Vera is willing to sleep with a gentleman of ill repute but with a certain amount of influence as she hopes he will help her find her son However after a very brief meeting with the father of her son she is unwilling to press her case and have him help her find the boyWhile she may have been afraid of ruining his life by telling Charles that the boy was his she could have avoided doing so but still prevailed upon his kindness and their past association In all likelihood he would have helped her I had actually assumed that her lover was dead as the author emphasized how in love he was with Vera and yet he made no attempt to find her or persuade her to stay with him in spite of their differences after Vera tells him she must leave him Finally I also felt that clues were presented far too conveniently drawings and pictures cropped up with seemingly no effort one individual just happens to know someone who turns out to be the childhood friend of the kidnapped boy Claire just happens to go to the coffee shop that was the former residence of Vera etc White Shark icy street the snow.

Review Þ Blackberry Winter ✓ eBook, PDF or Kindle ePUB In 2011 Sarah Jio burst onto the fiction scene with two sensational novels The Violets of March and  The Bungalow With  Blackberry Winter taking its title from a late season cold weather phenomenon Jio continues her rich exploration of the ways personal connections can transcend the boundaries of time Seat. Hmm hard to review this book I liked the story I read it uickly and I wanted to know what happened But the whole thing read to me like a soap opera The characters all seemed cliched to me and sort of one note The dialogue was overblown people don t really talk like that especially from the older characters in the book The actions of the characters didn t always ring true or seem believable and sometimes small details didn t track which was distracting The whole thing just seemed overly dramatic and romanticized And the main character has suffered a trauma to which she alludes in the first few pages this isn t a spoiler but she dances around it and hints at it for many chapters Why not just explain what happened I found that really annoying In the book she s our narrator and we re experiencing her story It doesn t make sense that we don t get to know what happened to her until we re halfway in I don t know if it was supposed to be suspenseful but to me it was frustrating and made it harder for me to understand her POV it kept me outside of her and her story for a while This reminded me a little of The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet Actually my reaction to the writing was similar but the storiesframework are also kind of similar too That was another book that was very well reviewed which I didn t love I wasn t sorry I read either of these books but I found the writing itself to be distracting and a little annoying which doesn t make for a great reading experience

Borrowed from the Pikes Peak Library DistrictI can NOT remember what compelled me to borrow this book not just borrow it but I wait listed it All I can say is UGH I need to stop reading books that I know are NOT in my favorite genres This is one Pathetic and predictable I read some reviews that marveled at the twist ending but I saw it coming a mile awayThe main character and her husband are falling apart from each other in a landslide kind of way She lost her baby while jogging when she was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT because she was hit by a car Really Just REALLY Anyway she harbors a lot of guilt about it damn straight and pushes her husband toward his former girlfriend while all the while she s accepting comfort from another man who is interested in her EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS SHE S MARRIED While all of this is going on as a reporter she s trying to get to the bottom of a story about a child who went missing decades earlier when a major snow storm hit Seattle in May Another similar snowstorm recently hit and her boss who happens to work for her HUSBAND who is the BIG boss of the newspaper wants her to find a story that can tie the two storms together The missing child angle is intriguing and probably the only redeeming storyline in the bookAnyway as you can tell I didn t really like the book I wouldn t recommend it unless you had absolutely nothing else to read and were desperate Even then I d hedge
