April & Oliver by Tess Callahan

It is entertaining, but I was not enthralled by it. The jacket promises a "surprising revelation," but what happens is neither surprising nor a revelation. Plus, it occurred too early in the story; I did not think that it could be the surprising revelation, so I kept waiting for something else, only to find that was it.

However, Callahan finely delineates the different personalities of the story. Each character is drawn very well. I think the ending is satisfying, as it leaves you wondering what happens next.

Somewhere way back when I did a post on this book. Like you I think is was OK, somewhat interesting, but not great.
