Here's how forgettable this book is: I was two hours into the audiobook before I remembered that, not only had I bought the book for my library about a year ago, but I had even read it when it first came out. And though I remembered reading it, vaguely, I honestly could not remember how it ended. It's just the kind of book that my high school girls love, and I haven't listened to as many audiobooks in this genre as I should, so I persisted.
Stop me if you've heard this before:
Teen girl loses her family and moves to a new town to live with a relative she knows but has never spent much time with. She goes to the local high school where she is a loner with few friends. A new boy shows up at school who's dark, mysterious, and ridiculously good-looking. He can read minds, moves super-fast, and doesn't eat. Oh, and by the way, he's immortal and has been around for hundreds of years. He is immediately smitten with loner girl who feels unworthy of his affection. She knows he isn't your typical teen but can't quite figure out what's going on...
Have you read this book? I have, and it was called
Twilight. I enjoyed it--
Twilight, that is. Now I'm not a snob about
Twilight knock-off novels, I've read and enjoyed many of them. So trust me when I say that if that's what you're looking for, you can do better than
Evermore.
Katie Schorr has a decent "teen-y" voice and does an adequate job reading the book but doesn't redeem what is, ultimately, a very forgettable novel. Only recommended to uber-fans of the genre.
