I appreciated how they both slowly came to care deeply for each other, with no obstacle to induce one of those all to familiar fallouts. They had a great back and forth, and their mutual stubbornness was an asset. I felt like these could have, and should have, been written differently to illustrate the issue, rather than just stating it.Īs a couple, Abby and Logan were quite delicious to read. I won't spoil it by saying more! I did get very irritating by Abby's frequent references to her damned soul and how soulless she was.
I can't say I agreed with her life choices, in dealing drugs to keep the dollars rolling in, but the cause is a good one. I really enjoyed finding out more about what motivated her. Very "cat-like" in how she only interacted on her own terms, and interesting in how mysterious she was. So every time his diabetes was mentioned, and Logan risked his life to hide it, I wanted to slap some sense into him.Ībby was always a character that intrigued me in the other books. Kids are wonderful at accepting what is and moving on. If I had been one of his friends, left in the dark for fear of them looking at him differently, I would have been really really angry with him for making assumptions about way I would treat him. The way it was discussed by characters was good but the way Logan approached it, with a desperation to keep his condition secret, was nonsensical and I think that did a disservice to those suffering, for whom it is life changing but ultimately no big deal if managed sensibly. I lost a (youngish) relative to it a long time ago, so I know otherwise. It was interesting to see diabetes get such a high profile as there are plenty of other diseases out there to pick from, and most folks would assume diabetes isn't that serious. He slotted into place after a while though, in that typical lead male slot - slightly tortured but a gem underneath. Since it had been a while since I was in the world of Abby, Isaiah, Rachel and West, and I found myself struggling to recall details - for one, I couldn't really remember Logan. So it took me some time to get around to read this.
Still, apparently I fell for the ruse I just felt annoyed that I did. It was only available as a benefit of preordering another Katie McGarry novel and, although I would have bought that book anyway, I felt like Chasing Impossible was being held hostage. Something about the release of Chasing Impossible irked me enough that I pushed it to one side for quite a while.
