The Tension of Opposites

I just finished The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride. It is SUCH an amazing book. I was completely attached to it, and there was absolutely no way anyone could tear me away from it. I think I devoured it. ;)

McBride has created a beauty. Her characters are real and imperfect (not like one character in Twilight- *cough* Edward *cough*- sorry, that's just my opinion), which is how characters should be, like the real people that they seem to represent. The plot is catchy- it's always changing and exciting- and I always wanted to read on to know what would happen next. I felt like I was actually in the story- and it was such an exhilarating experience! It was also really inspiring- I've written a novella in the same genre, and McBride's book reminded me of it. They're both slightly dark- yet cheerful at the same time- and the characters in both of our books are in similar environments. My book isn't nearly as good and needs a lot of improvement, but as I mentioned before, The Tension of Opposites was a great source of inspiration. I'll definitely look back at this book as a source of motivation whenever I need it. Kristina McBride accomplished her dream of publishing a book, and I hope to do the same in the future.
