One of my favorite ways to find new books is to find an author I like and read everything they publish. This is a hit or miss strategy, but one that has worked for me over the years. This time I came across the latest book by Cecelia Ahren, the author of "P.S. I Love You" and several other books I have read over the years.
"The Book of Tomorrow" was enjoyable and while I wanted to know what happens, I was more interested in getting through it and onto the next book. The main character and I share a name, Tamara, which was highly disorienting. Also, the main character was a 16-year-old girl who has some serious entitlement issues. Throughout the story, she does journey through learning more about her history and learning to have a less narrow-minded view of the world. This is all well and good, but I don't connect with characters who continually tell me that they are on a journey. You are the main character of a book, I get it.
My most favorite part of the book was the cover and binding. And get this...... A ribbon bookmark! That was fun.
Find it on Amazon!
