Open Arms and Open Eyes
Open Arms and Open Eyes - Michelle K Grant

 

I was surfing YouTube the other day and I came across a vlog my boyfriend made. I didn’t even know he had a YouTube channel. He’s never told me he makes videos. He obviously wants to remain anonymous because he’s using a fake name. I only watched two of them.

 

Weeeell,...

The idea was good. An inventive, but ambitious way to interpret the prompt, and the writing was good.

But I think this was too ambitious. The story tried to cover some complex, deep and kind of dark themes in very little time and pages. In the end, it was okay, but these kinds of topics (such as drug use, addiction, anxiety) just requires more depth and lenght to really work for me. It was also a little confusing at times.

Not my favorite story, and one that could have a lot more potential as a full-lenght novel with less back and forth.

Open Arms and Open Eyes - Michelle K Grant The prompt was interesting, but I think the story was perhaps simply too short to do it justice.

I don't feel like I know either of the characters very well, in spite of getting to witness Christopher's confessions about his past. I think if I'd gotten to spend some more time with them--perhaps even when they were in high school together--I might have felt more connected to them.

2.5 stars, rounded up for being free
