My Thoughts

I was a little hesitant to read because A DIFFERENT BLUE because it’s a self-published novel and I’ve been burned by them before. However, I’m glad I gave it a chance because I really ended up enjoying it.

It’s a story of redemption, love, and finding oneself. Blue’s story broke my heart and also gave me reason to be happy. She was such a strong person without even knowing it. She was also very selfless. I was captivated by her strength and will to survive. I rooted for her every step of the way on her amazing journey of self-discovery.

Wilson was definitely a character I could sink my teeth into. *wink wink* He was so well-developed and a great mentor and love interest for Blue. He was smart, charming, and British–sexy accent and all. I really loved all his Britishisms. And, like many of his students, he probably could’ve been the ugliest man alive and I’d still have loved him because of his accent and his personality. Fortunately, for the reader, he was described as being pretty darn good looking.

I loved Blue and Wilson’s relationship. I loved that they built their friendship and love for one another over time, not immediately. While the sexual tension was strong and fun to read, I loved that they helped each other and that their relationship wasn’t built purely on lust. It actually seemed like real love.

My only gripe is that I feel like the book could’ve done with more editing. I’m not talking about spelling errors, missing words, or extra words (although there was that too). I’m talking about continuity problems. There were a few times I was ripped out of the story because the wrong name was written. It halted the flow and the emotion I was feeling.

However, despite its editing flaws, this is worth the read.
