Review: Gone For You (All For You Book 1) by Jennifer Van Wyk

Review of Gone For You (All For You Book 1) by Jennifer Van Wyk


GONE FOR YOU

Meeting Ethan years ago left an indelible impression on a 17-year old Liv's heart. Now, years later, she sees the gorgeous guy again, and it doesn't look like he remembers her. But it doesn't matter, because it's not like she would start something with her brother's friend, even if he did recognize her. She's got relationship fears. He's got abandonment issues. The two have no business being in a relationship with those kinds of demons, anyway. Right?


Hmmm...Gone For You didn't really work for me. It's not a horrible story, or badly written, I just didn't find it terribly compelling or very interesting. I also didn't particularly like either Liv or Ethan. I found them both a bit boring, as well as the story, and not a whole heck of a lot happened until the end when Ethan suddenly snapped and went off on poor Liv. That was the first time in the story that I found something exciting happen, unfortunately, it wasn't a positive kind of exciting, as Ethan was an asshole in that instance. Both characters had too much baggage and I didn't find their reunion very convincing, nor were their I love you declarations very convincing. All in all, I just didn't find myself liking or connecting with Gone For You and its lead characters.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
