I love Thompson Square. If you aren't familiar with their works, they are a country duo, husband and wife, who sing some of my favorite songs. One of their most well-known is a song called "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?" It was this song and the story told in the song that inspired them to write, with Travis Thrasher, the novel by the same name. I was so excited to read the book and quite honestly I expected great things. They are, after all, amazing songwriters/singers.
Well...the book was good, not great. I kept waiting for something to happen and while things rolled along, they did so slowly. Eventually the plot got to where it was going but it took a long time. And it took me a long time to finish the novel, as a result. The story was cute. I liked Casey and Daniel. It just took a while to get to their story out there.
I guess the bottom line for me about this particular book is this: if you've heard the song, stop there. If you haven't heard the song, download it, listen to it, and stop there. Thompson Square is way better at writing and singing songs than writing novels.
Happy reading, everyone!
