Belong to Me/Marisa de los Santos



I did not like this as much as the author's first book which featured the same protagonist. It seemed like there were too many voices and I would put it down when the voice changed to a character I found less interesting. I really thought I would love this as I had the author's first book, Love Walked In. The main character was just so cool, hip, urban, young, artsy, smart and kind. Here she settles down, moves to the suburbs and starts a family. She is just as likable, just not as interesting. While there was a plot twist that you don't really see coming, it did not have as much of an impact as the same technique did in the first novel. If you've read Love Walked In this is worth taking a look at but as a stand alone I'd pass it up.
