Critiques

Hollyland is unlike most books I enjoy reading. Dee and Ryder meet in an alleyway, are instantly attracted to each other, and fall in love. She is a scholar in the field of art, and he is a popular screen actor. They have similar childhood tragedies in common and a love of the arts. There is no great drama, no burning miscommunication, that we readers come to expect from a romance in the last third of a book. Just a gentle unfolding of daily life and the growth of their love for each other, their families and friends. There is some outside drama that is resolved quickly, but they’re adults and they act like it.

Like Dee who wants to enjoy art just for pleasure, not for critique, you will enjoy experiencing this book just for the pleasure of reading.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you to NetGalley and She Writes Press for this ARC.

“Someday is always in the distance. Someday is dangerous. Be careful of someday.”

I am so glad that I read this novel. It is short but very inspiring. Doesn’t matter what field you are in; the book will affect you. Beside learning a lot of life lessons, I was on the edge till the end like in a good crime book :)
