Lakewood
Lakewood by Megan Giddings 3 Stars First of all, thank you to the author and publisher for providing an ARC of the book for my review in a Goodreads giveaway. I enjoyed the book and would probably give it 3.5 stars if Goodreads allowed that; the story held my attention, I liked the characters and the writing was pretty good (although I think there’s room for some editing before the final version). Nonetheless, I just didn’t know what to make of the book. I felt like I wanted something more from the story, like it was building up to something huge, and in the end it was kind of a letdown. The something huge just never came. The big reveal at the end didn’t even make a lot of sense to me. What happened at the end of the story (I won’t spoil anything with more details) exposed the bad guys to the world and yet I had the impression that they did it themselves. Unfortunately, after an otherwise enjoyable read I was left scratching my head a little. ht
