This week I decided to end things with Hollow City and move on to Laurie Faria Stolarz's new book, Shutter. It was a good choice. Despite my mocking of Stolarz teen drama writing, I love it every time. I started the book and have never been more glad for a fast paced, short chaptered book in my life. I already like the main character Julian, and Stolarz has already drawn me in with the click-bait-like summary and dreamy, angsty boy.
Though I'm only three chapters in, I like the secondary characters, which is rare. Usually, the main girl's best friends are incredibly annoying and I'm ready for them to leave before they get there. These girls, however, fit the typical foil character who complements the main character by being different but endearing and I appreciate it. It seems that Stolarz is good at making likable characters seeing as this is the second series or book that I've read from her and they've all made very good impressions. Overall, I look forward to free time when I can read this book and get back to the cheesy, fast paced, teen romance/suspense that I love.
This sounds like an interesting book. It is nice to like the secondary characters because they add a lot to the story.
