This Won't End Well by Camille Pagan

-
Annie is having a stressful time in her life. Her fiancee suddenly announces he needs time to think  and leaves for Paris for a month.  He also asks Annie not to contact him while he's gone. Annie quits her job as a chemist and starts to clean houses because her HR rep does not believe Annie was sexually harassed by her boss. She's moved in with her mother to help her mother battle depression. Then some new people come into Annie's life and they help her rethink her situation.

This story in told via emails, journal entries, and a few text messages. The journal entries include conversations so it is a mix between a journal entry and traditional writing. I loved this style of writing. It tells the story completely from Annie's viewpoint and you can see what is going through her mind.

While Annie has sworn off new people, she meets her new neighbor and a private investigator. They both are vital to the story and help Annie see things in a different way. They take her on new adventures. I loved watching Annie grow throughout this book.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a strong character to root for. It is also great for the different writing style using primarily emails and journal entries.

This review is based on an ARC I received from the publisher in exchange for my honest feedback. I highly recommend putting this book on your reading list when it comes out on 25 February 2020.

About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer.

Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
