When you’ve been pushed into a certain mold, and it takes Herculean strength to hammer and build yourself up, it sucks when the people who should understand that, who are supposed to be your friends are the ones who get mad when you don’t let yourself be pushed around. I’ve always loved Nora Roberts’ books because of the values in them, the connection between people, the consideration and understanding between the main characters, that depth of feeling between them, the freedom of will-I hate that these were missing from the book. Breen’s friendship with Marco, that deep connection-Nora Roberts did a great job here because I could feel that depth of feeling. He and Sally were my favorite characters. I empathized with her and understood what she went through and the strength it took to become who she wanted to be. I enjoyed the overall plot of it and I loved Breen. I was first lured by that fantastic cover. The Awakening started out so well, with such promise. Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors and her stories have always given me strength to deal with my own life so it really hurts when one of her books leave me feeling so slumped and disappointed. Has a book ever broken you, not because it was so amazing but because it was so freaking disappointing? I have dreaded writing the review of this book since I started reading it and this dread, I believe now, is what caused my longest reading slump to date.
