New Release+Review: Licks by Kelly Siskind

Shelly’s Review:

I’ve been invested in this interconnected standalone series since the first story, Legs. I couldn’t wait to read Gwen and August’s book as their backstory was bound to be angst filled. They had been best friends growing up but Gwen shut him out and then something big happened to rip them apart. That I honestly did not see coming. Gwen is also on mission to find her birth father. Gwen, Rachel and Ainsley (characters from the other books) all have the same birthday and make a pact to fulfill certain goals by a certain birthday. So with that being said Gwen is on a time crunch to find her father and the last person she least expects to help is August but he agrees.

Throughout the story they are looking for clues and whereabouts into her deceased mom’s past to find her father. As much as I wanted to love this story I had such a hard time connecting to the characters. I normally enjoy this author’s books  but I struggled with this story. Don’t get me wrong Siskind’s writing was good but I just couldn’t connect to the story. Even though this story didn’t work out for me please don’t let my review stop you from reading. I’ve pretty much read everything by this author and this is the first time this has happened to me.
