Kaitlin's Mooring by Carey V. Azzara

Summary

Nothing is more horrific than losing a child, nothing more joyous than the birth of one. When grief intertwines with joy, it throws the Deveau family into turmoil.

Pregnant twenty-year-old Kaitlin Deveau leaves Boston University in a hurry when Henry, her grandfather, calls from Maine with devastating news. Bereft of hope, Kaitlin's son, Christopher, becomes a life preserver, keeping the family buoyant. Henry, now Chris's only male role model, teaches him lessons he uses throughout life. In the end, Chris and his adopted sister, Susan, must save their parents from the fate that took his grandparents--but the outcome is uncertain.

My Thoughts

Have you ever read a book that you weren't really enjoying that much but, at the same time, you can't stop reading it and need to know how it ends?  Well, that was Kaitlin's Mooring for me.  I didn't really like it that much but I also couldn't put it down!

That is where my predicament lies... It did make me want to read the whole thing so does that mean it was good?

Here's the thing, the beginning of the book felt super rushed.  Like too many things happened all at once!  The party, the pregnancy, the parents passing, and then, all of a sudden, the kid was four years old!  What?!?!  Too fast!

Then, everything slowed down... a bit too much.  It started feeling like the book was going to go on forever.  And it's not even a long book!

I don't find pleasure in giving a "not-so-great" review.  I actually hate it so much.  However, it has to be done sometimes.  Boo :(

Basically, I didn't love it but I didn't absolutely hate it enough to dnf it.  That's about all I have to say!

*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
