My review for Robin Jones Gunn's "Clouds" is more of a critique of her writing style rather than the actual contents of the book. I was a little weary when I chose this book as its description didn't seem like something I would care for. More specifically, the story of childhood friends breaking a relationship as they part their separate ways just doesn't do it for me. Although I can relate to this topic, it's not something I enjoy reading about.
I expected a writing style similar to that of an immature teenage girl complaining of her love life woes. While the writing did come off as flowery, it was calming and easy to read. I felt as though Gunn was welcoming her readings into a story, rather than just telling them one. I did appreciate that the religious tone in this book was not preachy and did not make me feel uncomfortable.
I don't feel that I can offer an unbiased review of the story itself as it's not one of my favorite genres, but the writing style was more than enjoyable.
Please note that I received my copy of this book free in exchange for an honest review through the Blogging for Books program.
