Plot:
Imagine the worst day
of your life. Immerse yourself in the details. How did you feel? Who
were you with? What were the consequences?
Recalling my darkest
day is as simple as typing a few search terms into a web browser. It
only took thirty minutes for me to become the center of a media frenzy
that caught the attention of an entire country.
So I hid.
Nine months later and I'm getting better. Moved two hours from home, landed my dream job, and met a delicious new guy.
Healing is that simple, right?
Wrong.
Note: New Point is the start of a standalone series with connected characters, but independent story lines.
MY THOUGHTS
***Copy provided by the Author for an
honest Review
I've finally come to myself and finished the book that
I've neglected for two weeks!
Sorry for the late review. I was sooooo occupied with work
and stuff. Anyway, as promised, here's my review of my latest read provided by
Ms. Olivia for an honest and true to self review.
Let me tell you about the first pages of the read. This
was actually my very first Olivia Luck read and I don't regret it when she
offered the advanced readers copy of New Point.
This is a story of love, family, of love and finding inner strength.
The first few pages were so special. I mean, the story did
not start with violence or any harsh series of events, which I found really
good. I need to take a fresh air and a break from gore details :) though Miles
did not surprise me cause I know there should be some serious hot guy on the
book, believe me. Ugh. I want him, God knows I really do.
I liked the human interactions in the story. There came a
point where I realized that I have been reading some overrated books and
romance. New Point changed my taste somehow. All the characters are so natural,
I mean they are well written and I felt the connection with.
The story however, has some cliches on it. Like a very
handsome guy falling in love with a damaged woman. But I am telling you right
now. The heroine doesn't need saving. I liked the fact the she saved her own
from her past and her issues. Go girl!!!
This book has some violence on it but it spiced up the
story. It was a light read though, it made me damn relaxed myself.
Before I even conclude this review, I would like to
commend the author for addressing one of the underlying issues in the society.
She addressed violence on this book and solved it by showing the readers how
importance life is, how important the role of Family is to one's life. Ms.
Olivia, though not blatantly pointed out, had portrayed the significance of
family in the outcome of an individual. For example, Clinton(I won't really
tell you who he is), who felt so neglected and jaded because of how he felt
growing up. Look at him right now. The lack of human interaction, or so to say,
human love has made him the way he is. Communication and understanding should
start in the circle of family. Believe me, it will change the future.
Ms. Olivia like I said, presented a problem with solving
the issue at the end. This rarely happens in books that I read, especially when
there are tons of New Adult books sprouting like mushrooms everywhere offering
the same theme.
I wouldn't even tell you the romance on the book. It
friggin depresses me cause I really would like to have someone like Miles. Even
though I kinda think he's a coward.
Zoe Baker, I adore you for finding your own courage and
strenght. You are one in a million!
I'm not gonna say more cause I might spoil you guys. The
reading experience that I had with this book is unforgettable.
I am hoping that I can share Zoe's story to other people,
most importantly to people who are afraid, scared and needing to search for
their inner light. I want them to find the courage to face their fears. Thank
you Ms Olivia Luck for sharing this to me.
I really did enjoy the book and am waiting for another
story from this author.
Therefore, let me give this book a 4.5 shining stars! ****
You rock Girl!
Till next time!
