My Review:
This was a fun read.
I enjoyed Lucy and her friendship with Jade the most. There were true friends. Through thick and thin they knew they had
each other. Jade’s story was a happy
one, getting married and buying a house, while Lucy’s was not so happy, a
stalking ex-boyfriend. I enjoyed reading
about them meeting for coffee and being able to talk about everything and
anything. They were entirely real
people.
The story of Lucy’s ex was scary for me. The fact that he took it so far was
terrifying. I understood the sleepless
nights and the forever looking over her shoulder. I was glad that she had Jade to give her the
kind ear and to help her handle it all.
It was also great that Lucy didn’t just accept the problems and went to
the police to make sure she was protected.
I did have a hard time connecting to the characters. I am not sure if that was due to the point of
view changes or the way the story was told.
I didn’t feel like I had a vested interest in making sure Charles did
not get to Lucy or that Jade and her husband lived happily ever after. Seth, Lucy’s friend, was a great character
that added stability to Lucy’s life and I wish that more had been made of their
friendship.
Overall, I enjoyed reading Love Illusion. If you are looking for an easy and fun ready
I recommend it.
