A review by bookedbymadeline
Take The Long Way Home by Rochelle Alers
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington books for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
Sadly this book wasn’t my cup of tea. I tried my best but I ended up not finishing the novel. First, it’s unfinished and missing the last chapters which was not made clear from Netgalley when I requested and downloaded the book.
Second, it’s way too overly descriptive for my taste. I don’t enjoy minute details of every single thing which slowed down the pacing. And finally the sex scenes were too much for my taste. I wanted a historical fiction novel and would’ve much preferred the book to focus on historical events without the large focus on romance. I hope others will enjoy this more than I did
