On a snow day in 1975, Tillie Caselli was given the opportunity to show her artwork in a Junior Artist Competition. While visiting a new city, her fellow students sneak out to a bar. Worried that something happened to them, Tille and her friend, Ginger venture into the bar to bring them back to the hotel. Tillie crosses path with bad boy biker, Noah Hansen and their lives will never be the same. Is Noah the perfect knight for Tille or is he a blackguard in disguise?
When reading the description, the novel seemed very interesting.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get into the book. The conversations
between the characters didn't feel real
and the writing style was painful to read. The love story between Tille
and Noah also felt unrealistic. They fell in love in two days and
wanted to get married, but
then when something happens, instead of trusting each other and their
feelings, one of the characters just completely abandon the
relationship. How can someone go from being head over heels in love and then completely ignore their love interest? There was also too many random events and characters which were
very hard to keep track of along with the story just droning on and on.
The author lost credibility in my opinion when she used one of the
characters, Tara to call Tillie a "waif". Which means "neglected or
abandoned child", and from reading the novel, we all know Tillie is
anything but neglected. She has a family that loves and cares for her and she had several
suitable prospects. I also didn't like how the family was quick to judge
people and call them either blackguards or knights, when they
themselves didn't act respectable at times. The Casellis knew their
daughter wasn't interested in her prom date, but told her to go anyways, so she has someone to take her there and that Tillie can just be with her friends during the prom instead of her date. Well, the story finally picked up towards the end, I am very hesitant to pick up another book by the author because of the lack of story and poor editing.
