Kathleen's Reviews > The Square of Sevens

I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. I actually loved the writing, the plot, the characters - all of it. But the overly excessive details ruined the suspense I thought the read needed. Every time I was really invested in the drama and suspense of the story line the writing would pull me out with just too many words. I think at least 100 pages could be lobbed off and the story would pack a serious punch of dramatic page turning suspense. Because the story is an excellent one. It's full of intrigue, mystery, wonderful characters, and twists and turns right up to the very last page. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for allowing me to read an advanced copy and provide my honest opinion.
