Hot Shot (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

Thousand Words was quite boring. Well, very boring. Whilst I felt this story had the potential to be great, I didn't really feel like the plot moved anywhere. It just sort of dragged on, and so I wouldn't recommend it. The characters needed to develop more, and the main character was one of the least interesting people in the whole book. This is one of those books where there can't be any spoilers for it because nothing happens. NOTHING. This was probably closer to 3.5 stars for me than 4 stars. The first part of the book had me hooked, and it felt quite real as Brown has quite a knack for matching the true language of teenagers. I was also drawn in by the shifting time patterns, which revealed various parts of the story at different times.Ashleigh's rationale for doing what she did seems logical and rings true with what I experienced as a teenager (thank goodness I was a teen before cell phones). The descriptions of friendships and Ashleigh's feelings toward Kaleb, her boyfriend/ ex-boyfriend, are also keen enough to remind me of my high school days.The book falls flat in the last third, where characters (like Mack) are roughly sketched out and where relationships (like the one between Ashleigh and Mack) never seem to gain footing. There's also the pat conclusion Ashleigh seems to come to in the last pages of the book that feels a little too hollow. I was left with many questions at the end and not very many answers.Don't get me wrong. I liked the book quite a bit and finished it just a few sittings; I just wished it had ended differently.
