Book Review for ‘Dive’ by Adele Griffin

9/7/2015

I got to page 18 of this book and still didn’t have a clue what it was about.  I have no idea what to categorize this book as or who the target audience is.  The characters are thrown in there without any mention as to what their relationship is and it is a struggle to try to figure it out.  The description sounded like something I would really enjoy.  Something about blended families who were already struggling but then a tragedy hits and how they manage to pull together and survive despite the tragedy.  Or maybe because of it.  But I had to force myself to read the first 18 pages thinking in my head the whole time What is going on here? Who are these people? When is this book going to start making sense?  I finally gave up because a book shouldn’t stress you out. I read for fun, and when it becomes a chore, it is time to move on and hope the next one on my list is better.  I don’t give up on a book lightly, but I just couldn’t slog through this one anymore.
