Heart Bones

I've been trying to read this book but it is nearly impossible to do so in my house. Even listening to the audiobook is hard to do. Anyway I can't help but listen or read this book without analyzing it. I know that these are one of the books that is advertised as a romance. I know for a fact that romance is just a sub plot in the book. The main plot so far is about a girl named Beyah, who is a product of a one night stand. She grew up with a mother who was a drug addict and she didn't get much that most kids her age got. But when her mother dies, she is forced to go live with her father who she doesn't know very well. From what I can tell is that the story is Beyah trying to adjust to a new life and to learn to trust people. She grew up in a bad setting and now she has to learn that not all people are as bad as she believes that they are be. She is also learning that not everyone is what they seemed. Most of what she is learning all of this from is from a good looking guy who is closed off to the world named Samson. Maybe these two will learn to grow together while a relationship develops. I'll just have to read more to find out.

I realize that I have spelt the name wrong of our main character. Or, maybe I didn't. I can't really remember. Anyway Beyah did a lot of growing up in the book. She learned to trust people and not think they are all bad. It is a habit she is still trying to break but she is getting better at that. Now, I will have to say one thing I didn't like about this book. This book is like every other story I've read with a hint of romance in it. The guy does something where he has to break up with the girl and she acts like she can't live a life without him. The world is over and there is nothing worth doing anything anymore. But thank the lord that Beyah comes to her senses when she finally connects with her father. She learns that he isn't as horrible as he appeared to be. It was all just a misunderstanding. Her father also admits that he could have done better and now they are working on their relationship. I wish I could say more but I can't reveal too much about this book or it would ruin the whole surprise towards the end. But this book got three stars from me because it wasn't as fantastic as I was hoping it would be. It didn't grip me. It just felt like a teenage girl complaining about her problems and falling in love for the first time. That is it.
