I continue to be distracted by the sponsored posts on Facebook by free book reading apps. Very often I read the book summary and while I continue to be repulsed by all those books that have werewolves and pack stories, I once in a while find myself intrigued by some of the extracts. Intertwined was one such book whose extract I found a bit interesting. I eventually ended up reading it till the end. As I continued to read, I got hooked and I ended up finishing it in three days, much with the guilt of prioritising it over my work.
My last two reads, a set of two books actually, were similar ebooks, but, this book is way better than those, not just in terms of story and plot but also in the writing style, language and plot structure. I remember that in in case of my last two reads, I had felt that the author needs a good editor to edit the flow and check Grammar. In Intertwined, at least all that is taken care of. There are a few dialogues that are repeated again and again but, in my opinion, apart from that hardly any portions of the book need to be taken off and the grammatical errors are bare few.
The story starts in true Disney style movies, in High School with its dating scene and peer pressure on hooking up, and it soon progresses over the next 16 years of the characters lives. The protagonists are a bit cliched - the guy is a tall, handsome, brooding, super rich boy and the girl is a sweet, romantic, beautiful and innocent girl - and the ending is predictable too - they fall in love and spend the rest of their lives together. The book is all about how they reach their blissful ending of ever after. The story is simple, warm and sweet and makes you fall I love somehow with the characters. In fact, I have since re-read many of the parts of the book again because I found them super cute and they lingered on in my mind. Overall, it is a fun one-time read.
