Review: I was given an ARC of Worthy from NetGalley for an honest review so this is my review.
I can honestly say I did not get into this book as much as I have gotten into others from this author. For some reason I did not connect with the story content or the characters in this book. Maybe because so many version of this story, a woman's love dies and she pines for him for the rest of her life, have been done with minor twists on how the woman deals with the loss have been written they just don't have the impact on me the storylines use to have. Yeah, this one had a bit of a twist that I can't go into because of a spoiler but it was not enough to have the kind of impact I am use to getting from a Catherine Ryan Hyde book.
Overall, I was looking for more then a topic that has been over written. I wanted something new and fresh and something that I would still be thinking about when put this book away for the last time and unfortunately this book did not have that impact on me and I guess that I a curse when your readers get use to those kind of books. I am going to give Worthy three out of five stars.
