Review: How To Love by Katie Cotugno
Posted: 16 Mar 2014, 17:01
Oh sweet baby jesus, this book. How to Love is a compelling story about love, loss and redemption and It was so beautifully written that I can't even. I read the synopsis and I kinda went "Been there, don that, its cliche". I was wrong, I was very wrong.
We start out this book when Reena has seen Sawyer for the first time in 3 years after he left her. We switched timelines in this book so you see Reena go to young, sweet, innocent, and naive teenager to more than slightly bitter teenage mom.
I loved the plot and I loved how the writing style flowed smoothly between timelines so that nothing faltered for the reader. Ok, I'm gonna tell you the truth and say that I hated Sawyer in the before part so so so much. What helped me with dealing with him was how we saw how he matured so much in the course of 3 years.
I felt so bad for Reena because since she was raised in a practicing Catholic family, her being pregnant was horrible. I am horrified at how everyone treated her. Everyone in the LeGrande family and her father were horrible and it hurts that it took Sawyer coming back to fix things.
I had only one complaint of this book, I wanted to see more of Aaron, he loved Reena and took care of her and then whoosh, he disappears and I wanted to see more of his character in this book.
I really loved this book and I now know that the name Katie Cotugno will be on my brain now!
5/5 stars
